Should your student file a tax return?
Tax season can be a confusing and stressful time no matter what age you are, but many students struggle with whether or not to file a tax return.

Tax credits may be available for students or families based on qualified educational expenses paid for tuition and fees. In January, the VCU Student Accounting Department issued 1098-T forms and Tuition Statements to eligible students. Students may access a copy of their forms through the “Tax Notification” option under the “Student Accounts” menu in VCU eServices.
