Each institution must choose whether to report payments received or amounts billed for qualified tuition and related expenses. Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College has chosen to report amounts billed for qualified tuition and related expenses (Box 2).  We also report any scholarships/grants you received (free money not required to be paid back to include Out of State Tuition Waivers as they are considered a scholarship) on the 1098-T form (Box 5). We do not report out of pocket payments received (Box 1) on the 1098-T form.  This includes cash, check, credit card, and loan payments.  For more information about the deduction or credit see IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education [PDF], Form 8863, Education Credits, and the Form 1040 or 1040A instructions.
