I took a real estate course in 2019 from AZ School of Real Estate and Business. They do not participate in federal student aid programs with the US dept of education.
Can I enter the cost of this course ($500) as a education expense (less than half-time) in order to receive the Lifetime Learning Credit?
My understanding is that the institution offering the course must be considered an eligible educational institution. Per IRS.gov, 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.
