How do i calculate higher tuition expense?

Level 15

@priscilla-cruz57 please be more specific. are these undergraduate or graduate expenses? how old are you? are you a dependent of your parents (or someone else)?

you must have form 1098-T, issued by your college, to determine your Qualified Educational Expenses.

Those expenses are only deductible against the scholarship income. Tuition is otherwise not deductible, but can be used as the basis of either the AOTC (up to $2500) or LLC tax credits (up to $2000).

Here's a post on the five main points on form 1098-T and claiming a tuition credit:
