Why didn’t I receive a 1098-T form if I took classes that year?

You may not receive a 1098-T form if:

BTC does not have your correct address
BTC does not have your valid SSN or TIN on file
Your enrollment only included Adult Continuing Education, Development/Remedial or Pre-College courses
Your qualified tuition and related expenses were entirely waived or paid completely with scholarships, grants or paid fully by a third party
You did not pay, or get billed for, qualified tuition and related expenses during that same calendar year

After checking all of the above, if you still believe you had reportable transactions and are due a 1098-T form, please contact us at accounting@blackhawk.edu or (608) 757-7759.

I updated my address after January 24, how do I get my 1098-T?

It’s possible that a hard copy may have been mailed to your prior address. If you have not received your hard copy at either your prior or newly-updated address by February 18, and you are unable to access your 1098-T via the MyBTC portal, please send an email to accounting@blackhawk.edu to request a new copy.

How do I get a 1098-T from prior years?

Prior year 1098-T forms are available to students using the MyBTC portal in the Paying for College section under Tax Information.
