Hello,
I have been asking for help about this issue and as my case seems rare, I have been getting many different advice. Could you help me with that?
My situation is :
1. I graduated from a graduate school in 2019 Spring (I went to the school during 2017-2018)
2. My parents who has been living in foreign country and foreigners sent the tuition to my bank account so I paid tuition.
3. I was born in the states and am US citizen
4. I only earned $700 in 2017, and $700 in 2018.
4. I got a scholarship $4500 per semester.
5. I didn't file a tax during that time because my income was lower than the income required to file tax.
6. I have 1098 T forms for 2017 and 2018 each year.
So my question is,
1. Can I claim lifetime learning credit? and how?
2. If I claim it, will I owe more tax than getting advantages by doing that?
3. Is there time limit that I can claim it?
4. If you were me, would you claim it or just pass it?
Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it.
