Tax season can be confusing, especially if you’re paying for school or training. While CSS doesn’t provide tax advice or IRS Form 1098?T, you can still prepare the right documents for your tax preparer. This guide shows you what to collect, how to organize it, and what questions to ask.

Central Sterilization Solutions does not provide tax advice or IRS Form 1098-T, but you can still document your educational expenses for your tax preparer.
