Accessing Your 1098-T Form (ESCI)

Winthrop has outsourced the processing of tax form 1098-T to ECSI. Previous years 1098-T forms are available on-line. This form is available in PDF file format and can be printed for your records. You may access ECSI's student website at: Heartland ECSI. This site provides instructions on how to access your 1098-T form and also provides other general information regarding the tax form, including how to interpret the information on the form and a list of relevant IRS tax links.

We have provided detailed information on your tax form to assist you in determining your tax benefit. The 1098-T form includes all tuition and fees billed during a specific calendar year as well as grants and scholarships credited to your account through that calendar year. The detail provided also includes payments made and recorded on your account between January 1 and December 31 of the specific calendar year. Keep in mind - If you registered for a spring academic term before Dec 31, your tuition and fee charges for that spring term will be listed in the calendar year the charges went on your student account even if your scholarships went on in a different calendar year.  Pay close attention to Box 7 of your tax forms.
