Before answering that question, be advised that it only takes $4000 of expenses to get the maximum $2500 ($1000 refundable) AOC credit. Tuition, fees, books and even a computer are qualified expenses.

The AOC is 100% of the first $2000 and 25% of the 2nd $2000. So, only $2000 of expenses gets you a $2000 credit ($800 refundable).

After completing the education section, Type letme (no space between let & me) in the search box. Then press enter. Then click on the link "jump to letme''.

TT will give you the option to select another tuition credit.
