It takes a woman to put some sense into a man. I was talking to my girlfriend about doing my taxes. She mentioned that she was getting a nice refund for her tuition expenses.

That's when I said,"What are you talking about"? Turns out, I was entitled to a huge tax credit each year I had been in night school. When I did the numbers, I figured out I was entitled to another $1900.00. That was just for the current year. Now multiply that by three for the three years previous that I plan to amend.

Now it appears I have about $7000.00 extra money coming back I knew nothing about.:biggrin:

Oh joy, what will I do with the money........

Actually, I'm interested in seeing how this new twin screw systems comes along. I would gladly be the first to buy, when it's ready.

i'm assuming your employer was not paying for any of it, right? two of my employers essentially paid for my remaining years on my BS degree, so i couldn't claim it on taxes. either way, a pretty decent deal :)

Good point. I have the same situation here.

Depends on how much they covered... if your total out to school was more than you received in from reimbursements, grants, etc. Then you get a refund for that money spent.

I'm a veteran pickin up a nice check each month for school so I get nothing (OUT=~$800/yr in tuition / IN=~$2000/mo in GI Bill). The wife gets money back though. SWEET!

I'm a veteran too, but even the GI Bill is a drop in the bucket compared to what my school cost.

I wonder if the IRS knows about employer tuition reimbursement. My old company paid next to nothing. My new company pays 100% for an "A", 90% "B" and "75% for "C".

So for the years I am getting amended, I paid out of pocket over $30,000.

with that much out-of-pocket, it's not worth risking putting in for more that you paid out yourself. besides, they know now anyway ;)

Is it the most common, popular or both?:icon_poke

If anyone is interested in how to claim the credit:

Using a 1040A:

Line item # 18 is for Student loan interest deduction
Line item # 19 is for Tuition and fees deduction

You must fill out an 8863 for the tuition credit.
