The University of Idaho does not drop courses for nonpayment. Students are responsible for dropping courses prior to the first day of the term to avoid being billed and graded. Cancel Registration—use this link if you don't know your ID number or PIN; otherwise use VandalWeb.
Failure to receive a bill does not relieve students from payment responsibilities.
1098T's — the university's "Tuition Statement" for 2022 will be available in VandalWeb under the Student Accounts menu (by end of day Jan. 31, 2023).
University of Idaho is giving you the option of receiving your 1098-T Tuition Statement electronically. See the link below for general information about 1098-T tax documents. If you gave your consent to receive the document electronically, you will receive an email when it is ready by the end of day on Jan. 31, 2023. If electronic consent is not received by Jan. 6, 2023, the 1098-T will be mailed on Jan. 31, 2023 to the permanent address on file listed as of Jan. 6, 2023.
Depending on your income (or your family’s income, if you are a dependent), whether you were considered full or half-time enrolled, and the amount of your qualified educational expenses for the year, you may be eligible for a federal education tax credit. (You can find detailed information about claiming education tax credits in IRS Publication 970, page 9.)
The dollar amounts reported on your Form 1098-T may assist you in completing IRS Form 8863 – the form used for calculating the education tax credits that a taxpayer may claim as part of your tax return.
University of Idaho is unable to provide you with individual tax advice, but should you have questions, you should seek the counsel of an informed tax preparer or adviser.
Below is an example of what the Form 1098-T looks like for your general reference. For more information about Form 1098-T, visit irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1098t.pdf.
