Can I still apply for a continuing education credit for a Canadian school that doesn't use federal filers ID numbers?


Hi, I am filing my 2023 taxes and it asks for a school's filers federal ID number for an education credit. I do not believe I got a 1098 T, but they have a category for exceptions. Isn't the entire point of an exception to still apply for the continuing education tax credit? It forces you to put a federal filers ID

To see if a school is eligible to take education credits

 

Enter your school at the link below, to see if it's on the dept. of education list.

You cannot claim the American Opportunity Credit if the school is unable to provide a U.S. Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN).  You can still claim the Lifetime Learning Credit if the foreign school is on  DOE list.
