First ask your school if it is an eligible educational institution for education credit Most schools have the 1098-T on line in the student’s account.
First you need to confirm your school is an eligible institution. An eligible educational institution is a school offering higher education beyond high school. It is any college, university, trade school, or other post secondary educational institution eligible to participate in a student aid program run by the U.S. Department of Education.
Check the list at https://ifap.ed.gov/ifap/fedSchoolCodeList.jsp to see if your school is on it.
Rule of thumb: If they don't issue a 1098-T they are probably not an eligible institution and the cost does not qualify for a tuition credit or deduction
The IRS only allows the deduction of qualified education expenses paid to eligible educational institutions.
