The Lifetime Learning Credit is a nonrefundable credit.  This means, it can lower your tax liability to $0, but will not result in a refund if you did not have a tax liability to start with or did not pay taxes in or have taxes withheld to be refunded . 

 

To see if you did receive any portion of the Lifetime Learning Credit look at Schedule 3 line 3.  

 

You can see your schedule 3 by clicking the following: Tools>>Tax Tools>>View Tax Summary>>Preview My 1040>> then scroll to your Schedule 3
