So, amounts for those expenses will not be reflected on your Form T. Also, tuition for continuing education courses that are not taken for academic credit, or that are sports or hobby related may not be qualified expenses. File your taxes to claim your education related credits and deductions. An eligible educational institution can be a college, university, vocational school or other institution.

There are two education credits discussed below that can be worth thousands of dollars. Using the information on the T form will let you calculate the credit you or, sometimes, your parents can claim on your tax return.
A: Your Form T will be available to you electronically on or before January 31 or the next business day through the Student Administration System.
A: There are potentially many reasons for this discrepancy. First, the amount in Box 1 only represents amounts paid for qualified tuition and related expenses QTRE and does not include payments made for room and board, insurance, health service fees, or parking which, though important, are not considered mandatory education expenses for tax purposes. Secondly, Form T reports amounts that the student paid in a certain year, and the pay date does not necessarily correspond to the dates that the classes were attended.
The best and most accurate source of information about the amounts that you paid for qualified tuition and related expenses will be your Fee Bills. 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. A: Typically, charges are posted to your student account in November for the Spring semester and in June for the Fall semester.
Box 1 of Form T reflects payments made during the calendar year for qualified tuition and related expenses and it is not based on when the classes were attended or billed to the student account. Your Term Fee Bills will show the dates payments were posted to your account and are a valuable resource for determining the semesters that are included in your Form T.
In , the form was changed to reflect only amounts actually paid for qualified tuition and related expenses. After with only one method available for the current and prior years, the check box for changing methods is no longer needed, so Box 3 is no longer used.
Box 4 of the form shows any adjustments the school has made to qualified expenses reported on a previous year's T. If it turns out a previous year's expenses were lower than initially reported, the student may be responsible for additional tax for that year.
Box 5 shows the amount of scholarships and grants that were paid directly to the school for the student's expenses. Scholarships and grants may reduce the amount of qualified expenses the student can use when calculating a credit. Box 6 shows any adjustments the school has made to scholarships and grants reported on a previous year's T. These adjustments may affect the student's tax liability for the previous year, so the student may have to file an amended return.
Schools must check Box 7 if the amount in Box 1 or 2 includes expenses for an academic term that begins in the first three months of the year following the year covered by the T. A check mark in Box 8 indicates that the student is enrolled at least half-time. A check mark in Box 9 indicates that the student is enrolled in a graduate program. Box 10 of the form comes into play only in cases in which students have had expenses reimbursed under a "tuition insurance" policy.
Such policies reimburse students when they are forced to withdraw from school—for medical reasons or family emergencies, for example—after paying nonrefundable tuition. Remember, with TurboTax , we'll ask you simple questions about your life and help you fill out all the right tax forms.
