You would need to be able to claim your girlfriend as a dependent before you can claim education tax breaks. You can claim your girlfriend as a dependent if the following applies:

  1. You lived together for the entire year.
  2. She made less than 4,050 dollars for the year.
  3. You provided more that half of her support.
