Florida Atlantic University will report all qualified transactions in the calendar year posted to the student’s account, regardless of the academic period to which they belong.    

• Box 1: The total amount of payments from any source received by Florida Atlantic University for qualified tuition and related expenses less any reimbursements or refunds made during the calendar year that relate to those payments. Please note that the amount in Box 1 will NOT equal to or sum to the charges made for calendar year, because not all charges are considered qualified tuition and related expenses as defined by the Internal Revenue Service.
• Box 2: This box will be left blank.
• Box 3: This box will be left blank.
• Box 4: This box is used to report reductions in qualified tuition and related expenses that were reported in a prior year. This amount may reduce any allowable education credit you may claim for the prior year.  
• Box 5: This box reports the total amount of all scholarships or grants posted to your account during the calendar year. This includes payments received from governmental and private entities. Certain tuition benefits such as Post 9/11 GI Bill^® and military tuition assistance must also be reported in Box 5. Scholarships and/or grants will be reported in Box 5 and will be also included in Box 1 (payments received).
• Box 6: This box is used to report reductions to scholarships or grants previously reported in prior years. 
• Box 7: This box will be checked if qualified tuition and related expenses are paid in one year, but the academic period begins January through March of the following year. Example: Winter term charges are paid in December but classes begin in January.
• Box 8: This box will be checked if the student was at least a half-time student during any academic period during the calendar year.
• Box 9: This box will be checked if the student was enrolled in a program or programs leading to a graduate-level degree, graduate level certificate, or other recognized graduate level educational credential.
• Box 10: This box will be left blank.

There are several reasons Box 1 may not match your records exactly. 

•  First, Box 1 includes payments received from all sources, including financial aid and third-party sponsors. 
• Second, it includes only payments toward qualified tuition and related expenses.  Although you may have paid for housing, meal plans and other charges, those payments cannot be included in Box 1.
• Third, the pay date does not necessarily correspond to the dates that the classes were attended.
• Finally, Box 1 includes payments posted to your account only during the calendar year.
