You have to have qualified expense ( 1098-T from college);

you/your spouse or dependent's expense;

Your AGI is less than 116,000 if file jointly,

and you paid tax.

Hope Credit is for the first 2 years in college. Life-long education credit can be used for anybody. Hope credit is up to 1800 for 2008, I remember.

Hope this help for you.
