Form 1098-T - Tuition Statement

The 1098-T Hope and Lifetime Learning tax credit tuition statements are available in Webrunner by January 31 each year. Students are also able to view prior year 1098-T tax information online.

To access your 1098-T, go to MyLB and, under Current Students, click Continue to Sign On. From the My Applications screen, select WebRunner. Once in WebRunner, click on the Student tab, select Student Accounts, and then choose Tax Notification (1098-T). Once on the Tax Notification screen, select the appropriate year.

Beginning with tax year 2018, reporting requirements under federal law changed and we now only report the amount you paid during the calendar year for qualified tuition and related expenses (QTRE) in Box 1. QTRE includes only the mandatory enrollment fees. Prior to 2018, your 1098-T included an amount in Box 2 that represented the qualified tuition and related expenses (QTRE) we billed to your student account for the calendar (tax) year.

Depending on your income, your enrollment level, and the amount of your qualified educational expenses for the year, you may be eligible for a federal education tax credit. (You can find detailed information about claiming education tax credits in IRS Publication 970, page 9.)

The information reported on your Form 1098-T may assist you in completing IRS Form 8863.

LBCC is unable to provide you with individual tax advice, but should you have any questions, you should seek the counsel of an informed tax preparer or adviser.
