Question: Why didn't I receive a 1098-T?
Answer: There are several possibilities:
- You do not have a valid Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) on file. You will need to complete and submit IRS form W-9S to the Admissions & Records office. After the form is processed, you may access your information as outlined on this page.
- You are looking for your 1098-T at the wrong address. IRS regulations require that the 1098-T be mailed to your permanent address, not your local or temporary one. Check at home to see if your family received the form. You may also self-serve and print your own form by following the instructions on this page.
- Your 1098-T was mailed to the wrong address. If you do not have a current address on file with Cuyamaca or Grossmont college, the 1098-T may have not been processed or it may have been sent to an old address. Please go to your college Admissions and Records office to verify we have your most current and accurate address on file.
- You are an International Student (considered a Non-Resident Alien). Form 1098-T is not issued to International Students, unless requested. An International Student is not eligible for the various educational tax credits and/or associated deductions for income tax purposes. The IRS therefore does not require Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District to issue Form 1098-T for International Students.
