A memory drive with tax documents for more than 42,000 students at Salt Lake Community College was lost in the mail last week.
The school’s administrators sent out a notice to students on Friday that they were expecting the drive but when they opened the envelope it was empty. “It slipped out of it somehow,” said Joy Tlou, SLCC’s spokesman.
The college contracts with an Arizona-based company to format its 1098-T tax forms, which list how much students pay in tuition and whether they qualify for a reimbursement. Each year, Standard Printing Company in Phoenix mails the school a portable memory device with the documents.
