First things first, you'll need to conquer the UT Direct portal. Unlike that time you tried to snag Beyonc� concert tickets, logging in here should be a breeze. Use your trusty UT EID and password, and voila! You're in.

The Two Paths to 1098-T Glory
Now, you have a choice, brave adventurer: The adventurer's path (a.k.a., the "My IRS 1098-T Tax Form" path) or the tried-and-true path (a.k.a., the "My Tuition Bill" path).
The Adventurer's Path:
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
This path takes you directly to the 1098-T treasure chest. Just click on the link (may the internet gods bless your connection) and download that sweet, sweet PDF.
The Tried-and-True Path:
This path involves a slight detour through your tuition bill, but fear not, it's a familiar territory for most of us. Once you're in "My Tuition Bill," select the semesters you need the 1098-T for (remember, there might be a form for each semester, so double-check!).
