When preparing your tax forms, don’t forget about college expenses! Many people qualify for education tax credits, but you’ll need Form 1098-T to claim them. This form shows how much tuition was paid, as well as grants and scholarships received.
If you have a 529 plan, ensure you report the distributions correctly. Keep in mind that while tuition is covered, housing, food, and other education-related expenses may also be deductible.
