How Auburn University Reports

In prior reporting years, the IRS gave institutions of higher education the option of reporting either payments received (Box 1) or qualified charges billed (Box 2). Auburn University reported qualified charges billed (Box 2) to the student's account within the calendar year (January 1- December 31). These may have included Spring semester charges which are billed in November of the previous year.

Reporting Method Change:

Effective for tax year 2018, the IRS mandates that all institutions of higher education report payments received (Box 1).

Note:

If you did not submit an SSN/TIN at the time of admission to Auburn University, you will receive requests to provide the SSN/TIN prior to December 31. You should complete IRS Form W-9S and either:
