Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If your parents are not claiming you and you are working on your bachelor's degree, file your 1098-T with your tax return and claim the American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC), assuming you also meet other requirements.  

To be eligible for AOTC, the student must:

  • Be enrolled at least half time for at least one academic period beginning in the tax year
  • Not have finished the first four years of higher education at the beginning of the tax year
  • Must meet the income requirement (MAGI should be under $90,000.)
  • No one can claim you as a dependent
