Simplify 1098-T season and cut delivery costs

What it is

What is 1098-T form processing for colleges?

1098-T form processing is how colleges and universities prepare, deliver, and report the IRS Form 1098-T tuition statement that students use to claim education tax credits.

Herring Bank's 1098-T solution helps your institution manage that entire process without complex ERP integration. Your office formats and uploads student data, reviews and approves the forms online, and Herring Bank handles secure delivery — so you avoid the technical burden of building a deep system integration just to meet your annual 1098-T obligation. Students can choose to receive their 1098-T electronically, which saves the institution up to one dollar per student compared with printing and mailing, and if a student doesn't select an option, Herring Bank automatically mails the form on the college's behalf, so every student receives their tax statement and your institution stays compliant. Designed to meet IRS 1098-T requirements with quick onboarding, the solution gives your business office a simpler, lower-cost way to handle 1098-T preparation, electronic delivery, and student access every tax season.
