(One caveat is if expenses were covered through a 529 plan, which would be reported on a 1099-Q. If that is your situation, comment what is reported for the expenses).
Up to $4000 of qualifying expenses may be used to claim up to $2500 of credit ($1500 non-refundable, and $1000 refundable credit). For more information, please see this FAQ: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/5358150
