Form 1098-T is used for which purpose?

Form 1098-T is used to report qualified education expenses to support education tax benefits. Schools issue it to students and the IRS and include amounts charged for qualified tuition and related expenses, along with scholarships or grants received and any adjustments. This information helps determine eligibility for education credits such as the American Opportunity Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit. Mortgage interest is reported on a different form, mortgage interest is not reported on this document. Unemployment compensation is reported on a different form as well, and medical expenses are generally claimed as itemized deductions or other credits, not through this form. In short, the form tracks education-related costs to calculate tax benefits for education expenses.
