The 1098-T, Tuition Statement form reports tuition expenses you paid for college tuition that might entitle you to an adjustment to income or a tax credit.

Student Loan Servicer

Your student loan servicer (who you make payments to) will send you a copy of your 1098-E via email or postal mail if the interest you paid in 2020 met or exceeded $600.

  • Even if you didn't receive a 1098-E from your servicer, you can download your 1098-E from your loan servicer's website.
  • If you are unsure who your loan servicer is, log in to StudentAid.gov or call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243; TTY 1-800-730-8913).
  • Note: If you had multiple loan servicers in 2020, you will receive a separate 1098-E from each servicer.
