Are you paying tuition?  If so, you should have received a 1098-T.  To add the 1098-T or tuition and expenses you paid (or took out a student loan for) from a qualified educational institution, you will select the following (even if you did not receive the 1098-T):

• Federal
• Deductions and Credits
• Show More next to Education
• Start next to Expenses and Scholarships

Depending on your situation, you may qualify for one of the following Education Credits. 

Lifetime Learning Credit

• You can take this for an unlimited number of years
• Twenty percent of expenses up to $2,000
• Non-Refundable meaning this can reduce the amount of taxes you owe, but if your tax liability is less than the LLC, your tax will be reduced to $0 and the rest of the credit is lost. 

American Opportunity Tax Credit

• Available for the first 4 years of college
• Max amount is $2,500 per student
• Partially refundable credit meaning if your tax liability is $0, 40% (up to $1,000) is refundable
