Were you a student working on higher education last year? If so, you may be able to claim a credit that can help reduce your tax bill or increase your refund. Both the American Opportunity Tax Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit are available to qualifying students for your education expenses. The Interactive Tax Assistant (ITA) can help you figure out which one you should claim.
Find out if you qualify by visiting www.irs.gov/ita.
