• Today in History

HONOLULU -- At a time when President Barack Obama is pushing for more time in the classroom, his home state has created the nation's shortest school year under a new union contract that closes schools on most Fridays for the remainder of the academic calendar. The deal whacks 17 days from the school year for budget-cutting reasons and has education advocates incensed that Hawaii is drastically cutting the academic calendar at a time when it already ranks near the bottom in national educational achievement.

• Navigating the Form 1098-T Tuition Statement: Inconsistencies in Reporting

Tuition and related expenses affect an individual's tax liability in three ways: taxability of scholarships, education deductions, and education credits. Educational institutions are required to report qualified tuition and related expenses by filing an annual tuition statement with the IRS, Form 1098-T. The amount of scholarships and grants paid to a student must also be included on the Form 1098-T.
