Taxpayer Relief Act Information
The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 created a number of new education tax incentives, including the Hope Scholarship and Lifelong Learning tax credits and a limited deduction for interest paid on student loans. The Hope Scholarship Credit may be claimed for payments of qualified tuition and related expenses. This means the tuition and fees an individual is required to pay in order to be enrolled at or attend an eligible institution.
If you have questions regarding this law, please consult your personal tax advisor, or the IRS.
The university cannot provide tax advice.
UWSP will supply you with a tax statement for the past calendar year by the end of January during the current year. The statement is mailed to the student at their home address. Please do not call the University for this information prior to that date.
Tax statements are also viewable on MyPoint.
