Tax Information


Students and/or their families may be eligible for certain tax benefits related to education.*

Each tax year, Emory is required to provide a 1098-T form to all students enrolled during the calendar year (January–December). These forms are generated and provided electronically by January 31st of each year and are available for viewing in the student’s OPUS account under the Student Account tile. (Note: Those with guest access cannot access these forms.)

Printed copies are also sent to the permanent address of all students unless the student chooses to opt out of receiving a paper form (see below). Emory's loan servicer, Heartland/ECSI, processes all 1098-E tax forms for the university.


*Emory University does not offer personal tax advice. Emory recommends seeking professional tax counsel whenever necessary or referring to IRS Publication 970.
