Online 1098-T Process & Frequently Asked Questions

~MTSU Bursar'S Office Going GREEN~

In an effort to be more environmentally conscious, the Bursar's Office is now providing students with the option to receive their 1098-T tax form online via RaiderNet instead of by postal mail. This initiative is an effort undertaken by the Bursar's Office to reduce the amount of paper and other materials used in furnishing over 35,000 1098-T forms per year. MTSU is required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to provide these forms each tax year.
