Are all students eligible for tax credits or benefits?

Eligibility differs for many of our students. Missouri Valley College cannot give tax advice on specific eligibility requirements. Students are strongly encouraged to contact the IRS (https://www.irs.gov/help/telephone-assistance) for guidelines regarding eligibility and filling.

Do all students have access to obtain a 1098T Form?

No, only students with a valid Social Security Number on file with the college are able to obtain a 1098T form online, or in paper form by contacting the Business Office. Forms will not be emailed due to privacy and security obligations.

I am an international student; can I use a 1098T Form to claim tax benefits or credits?

No, most international students are non-resident aliens, making them ineligible for tax benefits. Please make sure that you are following tax law when preparing your taxes, failure to do so may result in fines, jail-time, or deportation.

You can view the IRS’ FAQ page for answers specifically related to international students, starting with “Q23: Can students with an F-1 Visa claim the AOTC?”: https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/education-credits-questions-and-answers

Can international students use popular tax return software like TurboTax or H&R Block?

All students need to make sure that their tax preparer is qualified to answer all of the questions.
