A. Yes, that’s the general rule. But, no, it’s not EVERY time. Frequently, both the student and the parent will enter the 1098-T, as the parent claims the tuition credit and the student declares scholarship income.
How does 1098-t affect tax return?
A form 1098-T, Tuition Statement, is used to help figure education credits (and potentially, the tuition and fees deduction) for qualified tuition and related expenses paid during the tax year. The tuition and fees deduction can reduce the amount of your income subject to tax by up to $4,000.
When does a college have to file a 1098-T?
The college is required to file the information on a student’s IRS Form 1098-T, Tuition Statement, directly with the IRS, per the regulations at 26 CFR 1.6050S-1 (a) (1) (i). The IRS Form 1098-T that the student receives is a duplicate, so that the student can report it correctly on his or her federal income tax return.
How to use a 1098 T form for my dependent son?

When do I get my Spring 2018 Form 1098?
The 2018 Spring semester tuition charges were generally billed and posted in November 2017 and, therefore, would have been included on the 2017 Form 1098-T, in Box 2. If a student paid for the Spring 2018 semester and any other outstanding QTRE charges in 2017, then the student would not receive a 2018 Form 1098-T.
Do you include books in Box 2 of 1098-T?
A: No, the University does not include amounts paid for books in Box 2 of Form 1098-T. You should consult with your tax advisor to determine if payments for books, equipment or fees should be considered when preparing your income tax returns and determining eligibility for education tax credits or deductions.
