How do I find out if the tuition I paid of $2,600 to the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) is eligible for the Lifetime Learning Credit.

To qualify for an education tax credit, including the LLC, the school must be eligible to participate in a student aid program run by the U.S. Department of Education.

This institute does not appear to qualify for federal aid, but you can also ask the school to be 100% certain.

Eligible educational institution. An eligible educational institution is any college, university, vocational school, or other postsecondary educational institution eligible to participate in a student aid program administered by the U.S. Department of Education. It includes virtually all accredited public, nonprofit, and proprietary (privately owned profit-making) postsecondary institutions. The educational institution should be able to tell you if it is an eligible educational institution.
