Tax Credits
If you are enrolled in an eligible degree or certificate program or are taking courses to acquire or improve job skills, you may qualify for a Hope Scholarship or Lifetime Learning tax credit. The Hope Scholarship tax credit is available only to students in their first two years of post-secondary education who are enrolled at least half-time in an eligible program. The Lifetime Learning tax credit is available to students at all educational enrollment levels who are enrolled in an eligible educational institution. Consult IRS Publication 970 or your tax preparer for additional information.

To apply for the tax credit, you must report the amount of tuition and fees paid as well as the amount of certain scholarships, grants, and untaxed income used to pay the tuition and fees. Cal Poly will send a 1098T form to your address on file with: 1) the name, address, and taxpayer ID number of the school; 2) the name, address, and taxpayer ID of the student for whom tuition was paid; 3) whether the student was enrolled at least half-time; and 4) whether the student was only in a graduate level program, by January 31, for each tax year. This statement from Cal Poly will also include the phone number of a person you can call at the school if you have questions. Use this information and your own records about tuition and fees to complete the IRS Form 8863, and claim a tax credit. If you have questions talk to a tax advisor for help. If you do not receive a 1098T form you can access your Cal Poly form by going to www.1098T.com. Follow the information on the web site to locate your form.
