How is the dollar amount of my 1098-T determined? Collin reports payments in Box 1 of the 1098-T, but only those payments on the student account which were necessary to pay the qualified tuition and fee charges assessed in the calendar year. The amount reported in Box 1 may not exceed the qualified charges, even if funding in excess of the total charge amount was posted to the student account. Box 5 reports all grants, third party funding, and scholarship amounts paid, even if those amounts exceeded the qualified charges. Amounts reported on the 1098-T are based on calendar year activity, Jan 1st through Dec 31st, rather than the year associated with the academic period.
