I want to know why I'm not eligible for education deductions.

[Marketstar]

Some reasons why you may not receive educational deductions or credits:

• Your filing status is Married Filing Separately.

• Your Adjusted Gross Income on your tax return is too high to qualify for educational benefits.

• Your qualified educational expenses were paid for with grants/scholarships or other financial aid.

• If you were filed as a dependent on someone’s return, you are not eligible to claim an educational credit or deduction.

• If your income is less than the total of your Standard Deduction and Personal Exemption (total of $10,350 for a single individual), you may have no taxable income in which case an educational deduction would make no difference on your tax return.
