What tuition will you be paying in the first 3 months of 2025? Will it be for classes in 2025, or will it be a late payment for classes that were taken in 2024? You cannot claim an education credit for tuition that is paid for a previous year. You can only claim tuition for classes that start in the same year that the payment is made, or in the first three months of the following year. On your 2025 tax return you can only claim tuition for classes that start in 2025 or in the first three months of 2026.
