谢分享! tax deduction vs tax credit, 有必要区分。

文中提及的以下数字均为tax deduction, 而非tax credit($ by $).

- "1040表的line 42那里,因为你的每一个在大学读书的孩子,你可以拿到3650块钱的tax credit。"

- “ 1040表上,line34 - tuition and fees, .... 你可以拿到最多4000块钱的tax credit"

THere are 3 education tax breaks :

American Opportunity Credit
Lifetime Learning Credit
Tuition and Fees Deduction

look closely, only first 2 are tax CREDITs. 

IMHO
