Christian Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 A twenty five year old married mother received a 1098-T from a college she is attending. She is working towards her BA degree but because of family matters she was unable to attend for four years continuously. Box 8 (half-time student) is not checked on her form. Even so I plan to compute her AOC education credit since she is finishing her degree requirements. Is this correct ? Quote
Pacun Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Maybe you should ask her how many credits she took in 2012 for each semester she attended and then compare to what the U considers a "full time load". Quote
Lion EA Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 And, look at past returns to see how many times she has claimed Hope &/or AOC. Quote
Christian Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Posted February 17, 2013 After reviewing the rules I've decided to use the Lifetime Learning Credit. The college indicates she was not a half-time student and this would likely disallow the AOC. She evidently needs only a few courses to complete her degree. Quote
