Tax Credits to Help Pay for School

There are two ways you can save money on your federal income taxes if you’re going to school:

  1. HOPE Credit:
    • For the first 2 years of technical school or college
    • Up to $1,500 a year for 2 years
       
  2. Lifetime Learning Credit:
    • For any years of technical school or college
    • Up to $2,000 a year

NOTE:  If you don’t owe any federal income taxes, you can’t use these credits.
