Rather than receiving a paper form by United States mail, the forms will be accessible for downloading from the student eService portal. Signing up for this student service is easy. Log into your student eServices account, if you are eligible to receive a 1098-T Tuition Statement and/or Student Payroll W-2 Wage and Tax Statement, you will see a message in the Action Item area on your dashboard. Simply click on the message to consent to receive the tax form electronically. In January, when your 2011 1098-T Tuition Statement and/or Student Payroll 2011 W-2 Wage and Tax Statement are available electronically, you will receive the following notice in your Action Items and by email: IMPORTANT TAX RETURN DOCUMENT AVAILABLE.

If you are a foreign student that claimed a tax treaty benefit exempting all or a portion of your calendar year wages from Federal and state income tax withholding, you will receive a paper 1042-S Foreign Person's U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding form in the mail. Please contact your student payroll office for reprints of current and prior year 1042-S forms.
