1. Review the record values.

   Include Scholarships/Grants/Qualified Expenses The Include 1098T column identifies transactions to be included in the 1098-T based on the fund source code setup in Anthology Student. You can update these selections to comply with the 1098-T reporting guidelines for the current tax year. * Previous Year The Previous Year column identifies Title IV refund transactions made in the current tax reporting year that are associated with a single payment made in a previous year. Emergency Grant Box 1 The 1098-T process evaluates 2021 CARES and HEERF II transactions in accordance with IRS requirements. It is not necessary to modify the CARES or HEERF II Fund Source settings or change CARES or HEERF II payments using the Cleanup Tool, except for transactions made after the installation of the 2021 1098-T process. The Cleanup Tool shows all 2021 CARES and HEERF II funds as: "Include in 1098-T Calculation" = FALSE and "Emergency Grant Box 1" = TRUE. If the transaction year is 2020, the existing logic for the treatment of the CARES grants applies. HEERF II grants were not available in 2020, so no changes are needed for tax year 2020. The "Emergency Grant Box 1" field is only enabled for transactions where the transaction date is greater than 12/31/2020, and the transaction is tied to a fund source configured as: Other Outside Resource, Non-Need-Based, Non-Title IV, or Scholarship or Grant. Multiple Payments The Multiple Payments column identifies Title IV refund transactions made in the current tax reporting year that are associated with multiple payments, where at least one of the payments was made in a previous year. Student The last and first name of the student. In some lists, the name of the student is highlighted. If it is highlighted, you can select the link, and it will display the Student Profile or a page available from the profile (such as their Documents list in Contact Manager). To display the Student Profile, you must have Common - Student - View authorization. If the link takes you to a page available from the profile, you must have authorization for that page. For example, if it displays the Documents list, you must have Contact Manager - Student Document - View authorization. Student Number If your institution assigns student numbers, the number your institution uses to identify the student. How the number is assigned is specified by your institution. For example, Anthology Student can be configured to assign the number, or your institution can use another method to assign it.

   Transaction Number The transaction number as it appears on the student's ledger card. Transaction Date The date when the transaction record was posted. Amount The reported amount in dollars. Negative amounts (refunds) are enclosed in parentheses (). Transaction Name The name or description for the transactions. Term The alphanumeric code assigned to the item by your institution. In most cases, codes must be unique. Select or assign the code for this item. Fund Source/Transaction Code The Fund Source or Transaction Code associated with the transaction.  *

   The Cleanup Tool will pick up payments made by students (for example, cash). Depending on where the payments were entered, they may or may not have a check mark in the first column. Users cannot update this column for records that represent payments.

   To update individual records in the Results grid, clear or select the check boxes in the Include Scholarships/Grants/Qualified Expenses, Previous Year, and Multiple Payments columns.

   "Identify Prior Year Refunds"

   Box 1 reporting requires that institutions report adjustments to payments that were made in previous years.

   The "Identify Prior Year Refunds" functionality only applies to refunds posted for COD fund sources that are processed, since these refunds can be linked to matching payments. This is a subset of fund sources that are Title IV funds.

   Since the Cleanup Tool cannot automatically match refunds against payments that were not associated with a Title IV fund source, institutions must manually flag refunds for those payments that are associated with a previous year’s payments.

   1. Select Identify Prior Year Refunds.

      When you select this button, the Cleanup Tool reports the number of refund transactions and marks those transactions as previous year payments. The tool also updates the Previous Year flag of all refunds made in the previous year that were linked to a single disbursement tied to refunds that occurred in the previous year.

   2. The "Previous Year" and "Multiple Payments" columns will identify Title IV refund transactions made in the current tax reporting year that are associated with:

      • A single payment made in a previous year

      • Multiple payments where at least one of the payments was made in a previous year

      Review these transactions and determine whether they should be processed as previous year or current year refunds.

   3. Manually update the Previous Year flag of refunds made in the current tax reporting year that are linked to more than one Title IV payment where at least one of the payments occurred in a previous year.

4. (Optional) To view the Student Profile for a record, select the link on the student's name. The Student Profile page for the selected record is displayed in a new browser tab if you have permission to view student data.

5. Save your changes.

   The records are now ready for 1098-T processing. Continue with Manage Batches.

   To change the selection criteria or exit without saving, select Cancel.
