Education

Okay, thanks. We were already getting a sizeable return without having any taxes withheld since my income is exclusively freelance reported in 1099-MISC. We're still in a low-income bracket and have two children.  My wife's tuition surpassed the max $4000 amount when I got to the last page of entering in school payment info. That page really makes it sound like that amount will go into the return. It should probably be worded better. It made no difference in the return total, so I guess we reached whatever threshold was in place.
