Taxpayer Relief Act
Taxpayer Relief Act*
As students provide their social security number, they will be eligible for the Taxpayer
Relief Act. The Taxpayer Relief Act requires institutions to provide information to
taxpayers and to the Internal Revenue Service for the Hope Scholarship, Lifetime Learning
Credit, and Student Interest Deduction. The information will be sent to the IRS and
entered on the 1098-T form prepared for the student.
*Furnishing this information is optional. A social security number is required for
federal financial assistance, some scholarships, and the 1098-T tax credit document.
