   Boxes to be checked in the 1098-T

   Boxes to be checked in the 1098-T

   Box 7: Amount in Box 1/2 includes amounts for an academic period beginning January - March of the following year

   Box 8: At least half-time student

   Box 9: Graduate student

   Notes:

   • The logic used in processing Boxes 7, 8, and 9 does not reevaluate students that are already in the batch on subsequent runs. Only the new students that are added will be evaluated for Boxes 7, 8, and 9 on subsequent runs. This is by design so that if users manually override these boxes, the manual changes will not get overwritten during subsequent gathering and reevaluation.

   • The 1098-T Process will not automatically select Box 7 if a new transaction is gathered; Box 7 will not be cleared if the transaction that caused it to be selected is removed.

   • To ensure accurate reporting for Box 9, the logic uses Degree Level as configured in Anthology Student. If Degree Levels are not configured, the 1098-T Process cannot determine if a student was pursuing a Graduate level degree during the tax year.

     The possible values for Degree Level are:

     • Undergraduate (1)
     • Graduate (2)
     • Professional (4)
     • Certificate (8)

   • Based on the Degree Values configured in Anthology Student, the logic of 1098-T Processing is as follows:

     • Find all the Enrollments from all the current year’s records.
     • Find all the Program Versions from the above Enrollments.
     • Find all the Degree Levels in those Program Versions.
     • If at least one Degree Level is Graduate (2) or Professional (4), Box 9 will be selected.
     • If any of the Degree Levels are null or Undergraduate (1) or Certificate (8), Box 9 will be cleared.

5. Select Edit Calculated Amounts if you need to change the total amounts for Amounts Paid, Amounts Billed, or Scholarships. The following message is displayed.

   Use this utility only when the correct amounts to be reported on the 1098-T cannot be obtained by the Cleanup Tool or by including/excluding transactions used to calculate the amounts reported on the student's 1098-T. All changes will be audited.

   Editable fields are displayed below the transaction grids.

   If the amounts were previously manually updated, you can revert to the calculated amounts by selecting Restore Calculated Amounts. The following message is displayed.

   The student no longer meets the criteria for remaining in the batch after removing manually edited values for this student's 1098-T amount fields and restoring the amounts to values calculated by the system. The student's Payment, Billing, and Scholarship transactions no longer fulfill the requirements for membership in the batch.

   You may:
   - Remove the student from this 1098-T batch.
   - Keep the student in the batch with the restored calculated amounts determined by the system.
   - Cancel the Restore Calculated Amounts operation and keep the student in the batch with the previous amount values.

   You can also select or clear check boxes in the grids to change specific settings. Note that the total amounts shown below the grid will change.

   Select Remove, Don't Remove, or Cancel as appropriate.

6. If you want to save and: 

• Continue making changes, select the Save button

• Close, select the Save & Close button
