Annual 1098-T federal tax documents are made available to qualified students in the month of January following the tax year. A paper copy will be mailed by January 31 to students who have not opted for electronic delivery.

GCC is required to report payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses (QTRE) to the eligible taxpayer and the IRS. When filing a federal tax return, you (the student) or a person who can claim you as a dependent may be eligible for an education tax credit for qualified tuition, fees and related expenses.

A 1098-T form is produced annually for each student with qualifying account transactions if a valid Social Security or Tax Identification Number was provided to the College. A paper form will be mailed to each qualifying student no later than January 31.

You may not receive a form if any one of the following is true during the calendar year:

  • You were enrolled in courses for which no academic credit was offered, even if you were otherwise enrolled in a degree program
  • You were a nonresident alien (unless you specifically requested a 1098-T)
  • Your qualified tuition and related expenses (QTRE) were entirely waived or paid by scholarships, grants or third parties such as an employer or federal/state government agency
  • The school does not maintain a separate financial account for you and your QTRE are covered by a formal billing arrangement between GCC and your employer or a government entity, such as the Department of Veterans Affairs or the Department of Defense

GCC has contracted with the third-party vendor Maximus to provide official 1098-T documents. Students will need to create a Maximus account to view and print their statements. By viewing your 1098-T form online prior to January 31 in a calendar year, you are opting out of receiving a mailed copy. If you opt out of receiving a mailed copy, but want a paper version mailed to you at a later time, you can request to receive a 1098-T by mail after January 31 from within your Maximus account.
