Tax Credits

Student Loans

A valuable tax credit called the "American Opportunity Credit" (AOC) could knock up to $2,500 off the cost of each of the first 4 years of college.

How the heck am I going to pay for all this?

Tuition, fees, books, and required tools or supplies are all qualified expenses for purposes of these tax breaks.

529 Plan Distributions

Form 1098-E shows student loan interest paid during the year and is often deductible from income as an adjustment.

Gifts

If you don't qualify for the "AOC", the lifetime learning credit or tuition and fees adjustment could provide substantial tax savings instead.

Form 1098-T will be needed to prepare the parent's tax return and claim the credit or adjustment.
