1098-T Corrections

Purpose:  Use the below document for making corrections (updated, edits, etc) to student 1098-T information.

Audience:  Student Financials Staff.

You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

  • ZZ SF Taxes 1098T

If you need assistance with the above security roles, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

Corrections to a student's 1098-T statement can occur either by directly editing the Edit 1098-T Data page or by changing a setting and re-generating the 1098-T's.    It's necessary to audit/validate after corrections have been saved.

After auditing and validating, the student's 1098-T statement will then be updated in Self Service.  

1.  Editing 1098-T

Navigation: Student Financials > Taxes > Edit 1098-T Data

When editing a 1098-T, adjustments made prior to validating are just adjustments, but after the initial validation, those same types of adjustments require a corrected 1098-T.

Proceed to the Audit and Validate process, we recommend always running the audit and validate in batch.
