Students have the option to access your 1098-T form electronically and opt-out of postal delivery of the tax document.

Federal regulations allow those eligible to receive IRS Form 1098-T electronically instead of through the mail. Electronic 1098-T’s will be available two weeks prior to when the paper 1098-T’s would be mailed; this is a secure, paperless, and cost-effective way to receive this important and confidential information.
