Q/A How to Obtain Your 1098T Form - Current and Former Students
This article provides instructions for accessing your 1098-T through PAWS, explains electronic and mailed delivery options, and describes the steps to take if you have trouble receiving or retrieving your form.
Q: I did not receive an email with a link, or I can't access my 1098-T online. How can I get my 1098-T?
A: You can access your 1098-T tax form directly through your PAWS account.
- Log into PAWS.
- In the Finances section, select Other Financial from the drop-down menu.
- Click View 1098-T.
- If you have not already provided consent for electronic delivery:
- Click Grant Consent.
- Review agreement.
- Select Yes, I have read the agreement.
- Click Submit.
- Select the 1098-7 link to download or print your form.
If you choose not to receive your form electronically, a paper copy will be mailed to the mailing address on file and postmarked by January 31st. Be sure your address is up to date in your Student Center.

Q: I received an email saying my 1098-T was delivered, but I never received the paper copy. What should I do?
A: There are a few options:
-
Pick up a copy in person. Current and former students can visit the Office of Students Accounts, where a physical copy can be provided.
NOTE: The student must pick up the form in person and present a valid state-issued photo ID. Copies cannot be released to friends, family friends, or anyone else on the student's behalf.
- Request a new online access link. Former students who have a non-UWM email address on file in PAWS can email finances@uwm.edu to request that the online access link can be resent. For security reasons, links can only be sent to the non-UWM email address already on file.
- Update your address before requesting replacement. If you are a former student and your paper form was mailed to an old address, you will need to regain access to PAWS and update your personal information before requesting a new copy of your 1098-T form.
