The good news is there are tax credits that can help offset these costs. These credits reduce the amount of tax someone owes. If the credit reduces tax to less than zero, the taxpayer could even receive a refund. Taxpayers who pay for higher education can see these tax savings when they file their tax return next year.

To be eligible to claim either of these credits, a taxpayer or a dependent must have received a Form 1098-T from an eligible educational institution. There are exceptions for some students. Here are some key things taxpayers should know about each of these cred its. The American opportunity tax credit is: • Worth a maximum benefit of up to $2,500 per eligible student.
