Smart Ideas To Save You Time and Money on your Taxes

Education tax breaks


Benefits of education tax breaks are worth learning about.

Two tax credits can help alleviate some of the financial burden of high tuition and related education costs. Keep in mind that tax credits result in a dollar-for-dollar reduction in your tax bill.

For this filing season, you can claim education tax benefits for qualified expenses for yourself, your spouse, or dependents who are claimed on your tax return.

The Hope Credit is worth up to $1,650 per student in 2007. It can only be taken in the first two years of post-secondary education.

The Lifetime Learning Credit provides a benefit of up to $2,000 per return. There's no limit on the number of years when it can be claimed. It covers 20 percent of the first $10,000 of qualifying education expenses.

These credits phase out as incomes rise. A taxpayer who has more than $57,000 in modified adjusted gross income or joint filers with $114,000 are not eligible for the credits.
