Education

Whether or not a student is considered a full-time student is determined by the school.   Schools may have different criteria for summer versus fall and winter classes.  If you received a 1098-T from the school where the summer course was taken, is box 8 checked.   Box 8 indicates that the student is enrolled at least half-time, which is one of the eligibility requirements for the education tax credit.  AOTC FAQs
