Deductions & credits

Did she do her finals in December?  Was the class scheduled to run until December?  Have you received her 1098-T from the college yet?  If so, there is a box the school will check if she was considered at least a half time student.  I suspect that will be checked and then there is no question.

 

This is definitely a new dilemma that the IRS has not published any guidance on.  I would go with what is marked on the 1098-T.
