Access Your 1098-T
Students must have a social security number (SSN) and an active address in our student system in order for a 1098-T form to be produced. If we do not have your social security number, we will send you a paper letter in the mail requesting your social security number in December. Return the W9-S with the first part completed and signed. Include your PSU Student ID number at the top of the form. We are mandated by the IRS to request the social security number (SSN) for any student that will receive a 1098-T form if we have it on file already. For tax filing purposes your SSN is your Tax Identification Number (TIN). Per the IRS, failure to provide this information subjects you to a $50 penalty. If we do not get your SSN by March 15, we will send your information to the IRS without it.
If you are a Senior Adult Learner or high school student and you paid a course fee, you qualify for a tax credit. If you want to claim the credit, return the W9-S form so we can provide your SSN on the form to the IRS.
