If you are a nonresident alien for any part of the year, you generally cannot claim any education credits or deductions. However, you may be able to claim an education credit under the following circumstances.

1. You are married and choose to file a joint return with a U.S. citizen or resident spouse as discussed under

Nonresident Spouse Treated as a Resident in Publication 519 chapter 1.

2. You are a dual-status alien, and choose to be treated as a U.S. resident for the entire year. See

Choosing Resident Alien Status in Publication 519 chapter 1.
