Tax Information

Tax Benefits and Savings Options

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires all educational institutions, such as colleges and universities, to issue a Tuition Statement (Form 1098-T) to its enrolled students at the end of each calendar year.  These forms must be mailed out by January 31 of the new year and contain the following information:

  • Total amounts billed for PSU qualified educational expenses.  The IRS allows the educational institution to decide whether to report the total amounts billed or total payments received.  PSU, as well as the entire USNH system, have opted to report total amounts billed.  We are, therefore, not required to report the amounts paid.
  • Total Scholarships and grants
  • Prior year adjustments to the above items.

For clarification of qualified educational expenses and additional information about these reporting requirements, please visit the IRS website (www.irs.gov).

You can also access your 1098-T by logging on to myPlymouth and following this click path:
