Education Tax Benefits | Ask the Experts

Published on ‎May 21, 2026 5:35 PM by Technical Admin | Updated on ‎May 22, 2026 8:47 AM

Join us on Wednesday, August 12th, anytime between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm Pacific Time for the latest installment of our Ask the Experts event series. While education tax benefits can be complex, they don't have to be. Our experts are here to help simplify how these benefits work, answer your specific questions, and ensure you are maximizing your education-related credits and deductions for the highest tax savings possible. Join us to get the answers you need!

 

Come spend a minute, an hour, or the whole day in the TurboTax Community forums. We'll have Tax Experts live - waiting to give you tax or personal finance advice for free! There’s no limit on how many questions you can ask—we’re up for the challenge and ready to answer things like:

 

  • What's the difference between the American Opportunity Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit?
  • How do the new Trump Accounts compare to a traditional 529 plan when saving for a child's education?
  • Can I deduct student loan interest, and how much?
  • How do 529 plans work and what are the tax benefits?
  • I received a scholarship — is that considered taxable income?
  • Can I claim education expenses for my dependent child?
  • What does "qualified education expense" mean and what qualifies?

 

How the day will work:

 

On August 12th, we will post a link on this page to access the Special Event Forum. Tax Experts will be online and ready to tackle your tough questions and engage in real-time conversation with you. Just sign in to the TurboTax Community, and select the teal Ask a Question button at the top of our special event forum to start a conversation! If it is after 9 am Pacific Time on August 12th, and you don't see the event link yet, just refresh this page and it will appear.
