Can I still claim my tuition paid to Portage learning?
It depends on the name of the entity you paid for the courses. Portage Learning is a "platform", and not a college. So if you paid "Portage Learning" then you don't have any qualified expenses to claim. From what I see, the courses are offered through the Portage Learning "platform", by Geneva College. According to the IRS website at https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/eligible-educational-ins... ;
An eligible educational institution is a school offering higher education beyond high school. It is any college, university, trade school, or other post secondary educational institution eligible to participate in a student aid program run by the U.S. Department of Education.
There is nothing named "Portage Learning" on that list. However, Geneva College is on the list and is an eligible institution. So if you paid Geneva College for the courses through their portage learning platform, I don't see a problem here. Just be aware that you "must" have been enrolled as a full time student for "any one semester" that started in the tax year, in order for you to claim the tuition expense.
