There are two additional tax breaks that students in college (or their parents and guardians) might benefit from: the American Opportunity Tax Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit. The former tax break allows parents (and students who aren’t considered dependents) to reduce their tax bill by up to $2,500 for up to four years. Since it’s a refundable tax credit, it can increase the size of your tax refund even if it reduces your tax liability to a negative number.
Independent students and parents can qualify for the American Opportunity Tax Credit if they paid for qualified education expenses used for undergraduate courses. But the amount you’re allowed to claim depends on your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI). In order to get the full $2,500 credit, your MAGI cannot be higher than $90,000 (or over $180,000 if you’re filing a joint tax return.
Since the Lifetime Learning Credit is a nonrefundable tax credit (meaning that you can’t get a refund if the credit lowers your tax liability to an amount below zero), you’re better off claiming the American Opportunity Tax Credit. Still, the Lifetime Learning Credit is helpful because parents and students can claim the credit if they’re paying for an undergraduate education, graduate school or technical school. Plus, there’s no rule saying that it can only be claimed for a certain number of years.
To get the full $2,000 Lifetime Learning Credit, your MAGI can’t be higher than $56,000 if you’re single or $112,000 if you’re filing a joint tax return. You’re ineligible for the tax credit if your filing status is married filing separately, you were a nonresident alien at some point during the year and/or someone else is claiming you (or the student you paid for) as a dependent.
