The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 provides several tax benefits to help students and their families meet the cost of post-secondary education. Two of these benefits, the Hope Scholarship Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit, require Arkansas State University - Beebe to provide information concerning your enrollment to the Internal Revenue Service and to you. This information page is here to make you aware of these credits and to let you know how we will comply with their reporting requirements.

The act requires colleges and universities to provide six items of information to the IRS for all students enrolled during the calendar year. These items are your name, social security number, an indication of whether you were enrolled at least half time, whether you enrolled in a program leading to a graduate level degree, the amount of tuition and fees charged to you and the amount of financial aid in grants and scholarships you were awarded.

In addition to the required information, you can obtain information about the tuition, fees and other expenses that you were charged, financial aid you received and payments you made during 2007. This information is being provided to you as a service to assist you and your tax advisor. To obtain this information, log on to the CampusConnect page as instructed in the CampusConnect help area. Once logged in, click on Student Information, then click on 1098T information. This will give you a print of all financial activity that has occurred to your account. At the bottom of the page is a button to connect you to the 1098T website to allow you to view and download your 1098-T. You can also go directly to the 1098-T website by clicking here.
