What changed

The IRS published a notice under the Paperwork Reduction Act requesting public comments on the extension of OMB Control No. 1545-1574 for Form 1098-T (Tuition Statement). This form is used by eligible educational institutions to report tuition payment information to the IRS and students as required by Section 6050S of the Internal Revenue Code. The notice states there is no change to the previously approved information collection and seeks feedback on burden estimates, necessity, and ways to enhance quality or minimize burden.\n\nAffected parties, primarily educational institutions and not-for-profit organizations that file Form 1098-T, should be aware that the IRS is accepting comments on the information collection requirements. While this is a routine PRA notice rather than a substantive regulatory change, institutions that experience specific burdens with the current form requirements may submit comments to influence the IRS's assessment of the collection.
