Minnesota State Colleges and Universities announced today that students may now consent to receive their 2011 1098-T Tuition Statement and W-2 Wage and Tax Statement electronically rather than by U.S. mail.   To sign up for electronic tax forms, the student must log in to Student e-Services.  On their e-Services dashboard in the Action Items area, the student will find a link to consent.

A student will only need to consent one time for each tax form type.  This consent applies to ALL Minnesota State Colleges and Universities at which they are a student.  The consent will be effective for all Tax Form 1098-T Tuition Statements issued to the student by Minnesota State Colleges and Universities for current and future years.

In January, when the tax forms are available for download, the consenting student will receive both an email and a notice in their Student e-Services Action Item area that says “IMPORTANT TAX DOCUMENT AVAILABLE.”

Some of the benefits include:

• Quicker access for students to yearend tax forms
• Less printing and mailing is more environmentally friendly
• Reduced tax form printing and mailing costs
• Increase efficiency of campus support staff
