How Do I Access My 1098-T?

To access your 1098-T, log in to OASIS under “My Finance” or email [email protected].

Note: If your residence is outside the U.S. or Canada, your 1098-T will not appear in OASIS, so you will need to request a copy.

What’s On The 1098-T?

The 1098-T includes several sections that outline tuition payments, scholarships, and adjustments.

Here’s what each box means:

Box 1
Payments Received

Reports total payments for qualified tuition and related expenses, including:

  • Tuition
  • Application fees
  • Music lesson fees
  • Course and independent study fees
  • Mentorship and graduate student fees (Graduate Program)
  • Student services, IT, and library fees

Payments include those made by the student, family members, financial aid (scholarships and discounts), and third parties (e.g., churches or businesses). Room and board are not included.

Note: OASIS includes payments for prior-year expenses in Box 1.

Boxes 2-3 Not currently used.
Box 4
Adjustments for a Prior Year
Includes any changes to previously reported tuition payments
Box 5
Scholarships and Grants

Reports all scholarships, grants, and discounts that apply to cost of attendance, including:

  • Federal (Pell, FSEOG) and state (Ohio College Opportunity Grant) grants
  • Outside scholarships (businesses, civic organizations)
  • Third-party payments (non-family)
  • bte365官网地址 scholarships and discounts (endowed scholarships, full-time/employee discounts)
