Receive Your 1098-T electronically:
This year we will begin a program that allows students to receive their 1098-T forms electronically. We are encouraging you to assist us in going paperless by enrolling in electronic delivery of your 1098-T form.
In order to deliver your 1098-T form via electronic mail, we need your permission. Signing up is easy and secure.
If you would like to receive your 1098-T form electronically, simply log on to the NYU eSuite and follow the steps listed below:
- Students log onto NYU eSuite via the "ALBERT STUDENT CENTER"
- Once in the Albert Student Center, click the "VIEW BURSAR ACCOUNT" link, located under the Finances menu. This will link the student to the secure eSuite website.
- Once in eSuite, click the "MY ACCOUNT" tab
- Click the "MY PROFILES" tab
- Click the "PAPERLESS OPTIONS" link
- Click the "ACCEPT CONSENT" button
*Please note that by clicking on the accept consent button, you will only receive the 1098-T form electronically and a paper form will not be mailed to you. If you would like to receive a paper 1098-T form, please click the "I DO NOT CONSENT" button. You have the option of either receiving a paper 1098-T form or viewing/printing the 1098-T form electronically on the NYU eSuite. You may change your option at any time, by visiting the "MY PROFILE" section in eSuite.
