Answer no. High school students (dual enrollment student) are not eligible for the American Opportunity Credit. If the early college high school provides a college credit course, the student may qualify for the Lifetime Learning Credit.

 

 

The Lifetime Learning tax credit covers up to $2,000 of undergraduate and graduate school costs

The rules for the Lifetime Learning tax credit are unchanged from prior years. As before, the credit is:

  • 20% of up to $10,000 of qualified education expenses
  • The maximum credit is $2,000 before any phase-outs
