FULL TIME FOR THE TUITION DEDUCTION, BUT HOW CAN YOU GET THE RETIREMENT SAVINGS CONTRIBUTION TOO: FROM FORM 8880 INSTRUCTIONS:
you: • Were enrolled as a full-time student at a school; or • Took a full-time, on-farm training course given by a school or a state, county, or local government agency. A school includes technical, trade, and mechanical schools.
It doesn’t include on-the-job training courses, correspondence schools, or schools offering courses only through the Internet.
