In , schools could report a student's qualified expenses one of two ways: based on how much the student actually paid during the year, or based on how much the school billed the student during the year.
In , the form was changed to reflect only amounts actually paid for qualified tuition and related expenses. After with only one method available for the current and prior years, the check box for changing methods is no longer needed, so Box 3 is no longer used.
Box 4 of the form shows any adjustments the school has made to qualified expenses reported on a previous year's T. If it turns out a previous year's expenses were lower than initially reported, the student may be responsible for additional tax for that year.
Box 5 shows the amount of scholarships and grants that were paid directly to the school for the student's expenses. Scholarships and grants may reduce the amount of qualified expenses the student can use when calculating a credit.
Box 6 shows any adjustments the school has made to scholarships and grants reported on a previous year's T. These adjustments may affect the student's tax liability for the previous year, so the student may have to file an amended return. Schools must check Box 7 if the amount in Box 1 or 2 includes expenses for an academic term that begins in the first three months of the year following the year covered by the T.
A check mark in Box 8 indicates that the student is enrolled at least half-time. A check mark in Box 9 indicates that the student is enrolled in a graduate program. Box 10 of the form comes into play only in cases in which students have had expenses reimbursed under a "tuition insurance" policy.
Such policies reimburse students when they are forced to withdraw from school—for medical reasons or family emergencies, for example—after paying nonrefundable tuition.
