Offset Education Costs with Hope and Lifetime Learning Credits
Education tax credits reduce federal tax for higher education costs. The Hope Credit covers up to 1800 dollars per eligible student per year for the first two years of post secondary study, with higher amounts in Midwestern disaster areas. The Lifetime Learning Credit offers 20 percent of the first ten thousand dollars of tuition and fees, up to two thousand dollars per year, with higher caps in disaster areas. Both credits apply to different levels and types of programs and have eligibility rules.
To file or not to file benefits explained for 2008
If you are not required to file you may still want to file to recover any federal income tax withheld or prior year overpayments. You might also qualify for a Recovery Rebate Credit if you did not receive the 2008 stimulus. The Earned Income Tax Credit could yield a refundable refund if you worked but earned little.
