How can I find out if I am eligible for a tax benefit?

Neither SUNY Orange nor its Tax Credit Reporting Service (ECSI) can provide individual income tax advice. After reviewing this information, if you have any 1098-T Tax Related Questions, regarding your tax credit, your eligibility, reporting your tax credit on your tax return, or any other 1098-T specific concerns, please consult your Tax Professional or the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 or www.irs.gov.

 

 

Why is there an amount in Box 1, but Box 2 is blank?

Due to a change to institutional reporting requirements under federal law, beginning with tax year 2018, SUNY Orange will report in Box 1 the amount of payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses paid during the calendar (tax year) 2018.

Box 1 will reflect the total payments from any source received by an eligible educational institution in 2018 for qualified tuition and related expenses less any reimbursements or refunds made during 2018 that relate to payments received during 2018. Please note the amount in Box 1 will NOT equal to or sum to the charges paid for calendar year 2018 because all charges are not considered qualified tuition and related expenses as defined by the Internal Revenue Service.

Note: If you registered and paid for Spring 2018 classes in 2017, those payments will not be included on the 2018 1098-T. Also, if you register and pay for Spring 2019 classes in 2018, those payments will be included on the 2018 1098-T.

I believe my 1098-T contains incorrect information. How can this be corrected?

Contact Student Services Central by email at: studentservices@sunyorange.edu. Please include your Student ID number and explain what you feel is incorrect. If you are right, a corrected from will be issued.
