1098-T Information

The 1098-T form is a tuition statement used to help determine eligibility for certain education-related tax credits. Montclair State University provides this form each year to students who had qualified tuition and related expenses.

How to Access Your 1098-T

Your 1098-T is available electronically through NEST.

  1. Log into NEST
  2. Navigate to Student Accounts
  3. Select Tax Notification (1098-T)

You can also choose to receive your form electronically instead of by mail.

When Forms Are Available

1098-T forms are typically available by January 31 each year for the previous calendar year. You will be notified through your University email when your form is ready.

What the 1098-T Includes

Your form may include:

  • Payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses
  • Scholarships and grants applied to your account
  • Adjustments made to prior year charges or aid

The form reflects financial activity during the calendar year, not the academic year.

Common Questions

Not all students are eligible to receive a form. This may depend on your enrollment, billing activity or type of charges.

The form reports payments received and financial aid applied during the calendar year. This may differ from what you actually paid out of pocket.

Only you can access your form unless you have granted authorized user access through NEST.
