Deductions & credits

If your spouse qualifies for the Retirement Savings Credit because they contributed to a retirement plan at work, check NO for 'taxpayer student'.   They can't claim this credit if they were a student.

However, if you are claiming an Education Credit for your spouse's education expenses, you may want to indicate YES for 'taxpayer student' to be eligible for this credit, if it is more than the Saver's Credit amount.
