I took the American Opportunity Credit for 7 semesters from Fall 2013 - Fall 2016. This equals 4 tax years. I have qualified education expenses for the Spring 2017 semester. Can I deduct these somewhere? Is there some type of credit I can use?
Full-time student / undergraduate degree / 4-year degree started in Fall 2013 semester and completed in Spring 2017 semester.
Yes, if the expenses were paid in 2017. You may qualify for the Lifetime Learning Credit or Tuition and Fees deduction. Tuition and Fees was eliminated for 2017, but then reinstated. Enter the information into the TurboTax program in the Education Section and the program will alert you to any available credit or deduction.
