The lifetime learning credit lets you claim 20% of the first 10,000 you pay towards tuition and fees for a maximum of $2,000. Like the American Opportunity Tax Credit, the lifetime credit doesn’t count living expenses or transportation. Those are eliminated expenses. You can claim books, supplies needed for the course, also tuition, tutoring, computers, those all can be added back in.
