Tax Credit
2023 1098-T Tuition Statements are available in ctcLink through the Student Services Center on the Finance tab. If a form is available, a 1098-T hyperlink will be active. Click on it to review 1098-T information. On this page, there is another hyperlink to print a copy of the form.
The message: “1098-T- Student does not have 1098-T data,” means there is no 2023 1098-T. Prior year 1098-T forms are available (through a link on this page). Previous student number (not ctcLink number) and PIN (birthdate: mm/dd/yy) is required.
The most common reason students do not receive a 1098-T form: all qualifying tuition and fees were paid and/or reimbursed by financial aid, scholarships, grants, or third-party payers.
Other reasons students may not receive a form:
- International student or non-citizen
- No SSN on file
- No address on file
- Less than ½ time

To comply with federal laws, we are required to ask for your Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). We will use your SSN/ITIN to report the American Opportunity Credit (formerly Hope Scholarship/Life Time tax credit), to administer state/federal financial aid, to verify enrollment, degree and academic transcript records, and to conduct institutional research. North Seattle’s Tax ID number is 91-0826872.
If you do not submit your SSN/ITIN, you will not be denied access to the College. However, you may be subject to civil penalties (refer to Internal Revenue Service Treasury Regulation 1.6050S-1(e)(4) for more information).
Pursuant to state law (RCW 28B.10.042) and federal law (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act), the College will protect your SSN from unauthorized use and/or disclosure.
