Tax benefits relate to "qualified education expenses" which were paid via "qualified payments" during the 2024 calendar year.  The IRS describes qualified education expenses as mandatory charges required for enrollment at an eligible institution.  Non-qualifying related expenses and charges include room and board; fees involving athletics and insurance, transportation and similar personal or living expenses.  The IRS defines qualified payments as those made "out-of-pocket" including from student's earnings, a loan, a gift, an inheritance or personal savings.  Non-qualifying payments are included in the scholarships and grants box 5 on your Form 1098T.  These payments include those made from a Pell Grant or any other tax-free grant or scholarship, a tax-free distribution from an education IRA or a tax-free distribution from an employer-provided educational assistance program.  

We strongly encourage you to obtain IRS Form 8863, which is the form that must be filed to claim the education tax credits.  The instructions for Form 8863 provide useful information that is helpful in determining the best way to proceed to maximize tax benefits.  The form can be printed from the IRS general website listed in this memo.

Tax Credits

The American Opportunity Tax Credit (formerly known as the Hope Scholarship Tax Credit) is a per student tax credit for the first four years of postsecondary education.  It is a direct, non-refundable tax credit of up to $2,500 for payments made on qualified tuition and related expenses due to enrollment within the 2024 calendar year.  A tax credit equal to 100% of the first $2,000 of tuition and fees (less scholarships, grants, and tax-free tuition benefits), and 25% of the next $2,000 of tuition and related expenses is available to parents of dependent students or to students who are not claimed as dependents on their parents' federal tax return.  Certain income tests that must be met are described on Form 8863.

 The Lifetime Tax Credit is a per family tax credit which applies to qualified tuition and fee payments made within the 2024 calendar year.  The Lifetime Learning Tax Credit applies to tuition and related expenses for undergraduate, graduate, and continuing-education course work.  A family can claim on its tax return a credit of 20% of the first $10,000 of qualified expenses for a maximum benefit of $2,000 each tax year.  An eligible taxpayer must file a tax return and have an income tax liability to claim the credit.  As with the American Opportunity Tax Credit, there are tests that must be met for income and dependency in order to qualify for the credit.  Please refer to IRS form 8863 for more information.  Keep in mind that you cannot take the American Opportunity Tax Credit and the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit for the same student for the same tax year. 

Tax Deductions

Where applicable, IRS Form 1098E will be issued by lenders to assist you in taking advantage of the deduction for interest paid on student loans, which is a direct deduction from income.   For 2024, the maximum interest allowed is $2,500.   You should receive a Form 1098E from your lender if you are in repayment of interest on your student loans.

Other Provisions

Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and Roth Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA's) were introduced in 1998, and may be used to save or pay for education-related expenses.  There are also changes in the taxation of U.S. Savings Bond interest, and early withdrawals from IRAs for use in the payment of higher education expenses.  Please refer to the websites listed below in the Frequently Asked Questions for assistance.
