1098-T Tax Info

In compliance with IRS regulations, Polytechnic Institute of NYU must provide all students with a 2011 1098-T Tuition Statement. Form 1098-T summarizes qualified tuition and fees, any scholarships and grants received, as well as other information that may be useful in taking advantage of the American Opportunity, or Lifetime Learning Education Credit for the 2011 income tax filing year.

We will update our records with your SSN and manually generate a 1098-T form for you.
