1098-T Statement and Tax Credits

Form 1098-T Tuition Payment Statement is the form that colleges are required to issue to students.  This form helps families identify eligible college expenses for valuable education credits.

If receiving a 1098-T Form, it has been mailed.  The student can  access this information from their MyMarist portal.  Choose the tab for Student, next click Banner Self Service, from Main Menu select Financial Aid, Select Tax Year, enter 2018, submit, if eligible the information is displayed.

In previous years, the 1098-T included a figure in Box 2 that represented the qualified tuition and related expenses (QTRE) billed to the student account within a calendar year (not the academic year).  Qualified related expenses do not include room, board and health service fees. Due to the IRS change, institutional reporting requirements under federal law, beginning with tax year 2018, are required to report in Box 1 the amount of qualified tuition and related expenses (QTRE) paid during the calendar year.

To learn more about the education credits, visit https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p970.pdf

We advise students/parents to consult with your tax professional regarding tax credits and laws.

Marist College Payment Plan

Recently our payment plan provider, Tuition Management Systems (TMS), was acquired by Nelnet Campus Commerce. They are one of the largest payment plan providers with partnerships with 1,300 campuses across the country.

Very soon you may start seeing materials, emails and social media with their logo encouraging you to sign up for a payment plan. Based on our continued commitment to help you more easily afford an education, we encourage you to watch for their materials.

A monthly payment plan allows you to spread your education expenses over smaller monthly installments, which are paid over the course of the semester.

We are pleased to partner with Nelnet Campus Commerce to provide this option for our students.
