Why does Tarleton State University need my Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)?<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>

Failure to provide Tarleton State University with your SSN or ITIN could result in being subject to an IRS fine and the IRS will not be able to use the Form 1098-T filed by Tarleton State University to confirm your eligibility for certain education tax benefits without your SSN or ITIN.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
