You can also ask it they are an Eligible Educational Institution, or see if they are listed here:<BR /><A href="https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/eligible-educational-inst" target="_blank">https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/eligible-educational-inst</A></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Hope this helps!</P> <P>Cindy</P> Wed, 25 Oct 2023 20:59:43 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-trade-school/01/3104708#M1137741 Cindy4 2023-10-25T20:59:43Z
