Federal Tax Credit Information

HOPE SCHOLARSHIP/ LIFETIME LEARNING CREDIT

                         TAXPAYER RELIEF ACT OF 1997

You may be eligible for a federal tax credit for certain fees or tuition that you paid as a student or that you paid for a dependent student. Each institution you attended during the tax year must provide to you and to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) information on payments that you made and on student financial aid that you received. With this information, you and/or your tax advisor can determine whether or not you qualify for a credit.

California State University, Chico mailed the tax information forms (1098-T) to your billing address. If you have not received one, another copy of the form can be obtained from your student portal account. To access this data, log on to your portal account, go to the Records, Registration, and Finance tab, then choose the link for 1098-T Tax Data.

If you did not receive a 1098-T or if you have any questions, please contact Student Financial Services at (530) 898-5936 or (530) 898-6347.

Please note that we cannot advise you on your tax situation; only you and/or your tax advisor can determine your eligibility for a credit.
