Tax Information for Degree Candidates

Using the figures on your educational expenses statement, you are now ready to determine your tax liability, using the fill-in form below.

Please note that you must prepare a form for each semester covered by your ASF award.

If your award is $10,000 or less, it will be paid in one lump sum prior to your first semester or as soon as we receive your tax documents. In this case you only need to complete a form for that semester.

If you award is over $10,000, it will be disbursed in two payments: half in the beginning of your first semester, usually in August or September, and the second half before the beginning of your second semester, usually in January. In this case, you need to complete a form for each semester, filling in line 1 with half your ASF award total.
