What is a 1098 T form? What does it do? And do I have to pay financial aid back?

Does this form help you get money back from paying for college?If not then what is this for exactly. Also I know that financial aid is considered a grant but my friend told me you may have to pay for some of it back when you file your taxes...I thought a grant was money you dont pay back.Please explain thank you

Just give the form to your parents and relax.

T stands for tuition and in some cases yes, it can result in a refund find form #8863 to see how you apply it

The 1098-T tax form is one which informs the taxpayer if he/she is eligible for the American Opportunity Credit in tax year 2011. The American Opportunity Credit provides a maximum tax credit of $2,500 for tax year 2011 based on the taxpayer's modified adjusted gross income (MAGI). So, in simple words it is a credit that reduces your amount of tax due dollar for dollar. That means its a direct deduction from your tax due, & not from your income. For complete information on getting qualified for American Opportunity Credit, please refer to the following blog because you can save grands with this info:

Finance plays an all-important role in life of any society irrespective of its social order. Experts should know well the nature of the finance, understand features of formation, distribution and use of financial resources in the state, and also in functioning of credit-and-monetary system. The economist should be prepared for professional work in state structures of federal, regional and municipal level; banks, stock exchanges, the financial and insurance companies, investment funds, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, economic services of the enterprises and the organisations of all patterns of ownership, on the posts demanding the higher economic education.
