Education

There are two Education credits available, the American Opportunity Tax Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit.

You can't claim the American Opportunity Tax credit. The credit is only available for the first 4 years of postsecondary school when pursuing an undergraduate degree or educational credential.

 

The life learning credit is reduced (phased out) if your 2023 modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is between $80,000 and $90,000 ($160,000 to $180,000 if Married Filing Jointly). Since this isn't a refundable credit, the credit can't be more than your tax liability.
