Student Accounts would like you to know that 1098-T tuition tax statements are now available! Students may download their form by:

• Logging in to MyGeorgeFox
• Selecting “Financial Account”
• Clicking on “Account Services”
• Selecting “View 1098-T”

Make sure you allow pop-ups in your browser. If you do not see a form available, you did not qualify this year. There are multiple reasons this may happen, but the most common are:

• Scholarships, grants, or third party payments were in excess of the qualified payments.
• You did not have qualifying enrollment.

For a FAQ and more information about the 1098-T, including links to IRS guidelines and instructions, please visit our webpage, or email Chris Pulver at cpulver@georgefox.edu.

Physical copies were also mailed at the end of January to those who did not sign up for electronic delivery.
