If you are a nonresident alien for any part of the year, you generally cannot claim the education credits. However, you may be able to claim an education credit under the following circumstances.
1. You are married and choose to file a joint return with a U.S. citizen or resident spouse as discussed under
Nonresident Spouse Treated as a Resident in Publication 519 chapter 1.
2. You are a dual-status alien, and choose to be treated as a U.S. resident for the entire year. See
Choosing Resident Alien Status in Publication 519 chapter 1.
