Education Tax Benefits
In 1997, congress passed legislation creating the opportunity for certain
students or their parents to obtain a tax credit for tuition and required
fees paid to attend a college or university.
There are two education credits: the Hope Credit, for tuition and
fees for the first two years of postsecondary education and the Lifetime Learning Credit.
For more information about Education Tax benefits and other Federal Tax Credits,
