Making back payments for 2021 education, in 2022, is neither eligible for a 2022 credit or a 2021 credit. I’m ASSUMING that means they were doing Form RC360 every year. Also, for those who may be wondering, “AIT” stands for Advanced Individual Training.
Whether you enter the 1098-T depends on who paid that. Your stipend is on your W-2, so that has been taken care of as far as being reported as income. Estimated tax payments are not just for self employment taxes. But for any income that doesn’t have withholding taken out like interest and dividends.

Cook was president and CEO until 1994, and now serves aschairman of the executive committee.

- You also cannot count expenses that were paid by tax free scholarships.
- Making back payments for 2021 education, in 2022, is neither eligible for a 2022 credit or a 2021 credit.
- Just keep the 1099-Q and the calculation of how the distribution is covered by education expenses in your tax records.
- TurboTax also has an article explaining who can claim the credit.
- There are two types of dependents, “Qualifying Children”(QC) and standard (“Qualifying Relative” in IRS parlance even though they don’t have to actually be related).
So, for the extreme example, being a FT student Jan 31 to May 1 would qualify. She is using all the tuition to claim the lifetime Learning Credit (LLC) and keeping her scholarship tax free. None of your 529 distribution will be allocated to tuition. Room and board also count, even if the student lives at home.
Am I eligible for education credits?
FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes do not apply to service performed by students employed by a school, college or university where the student is pursuing a course of study. Your W-2 from the college would show your wages in Box 1, and would have zero in Box 3. Military tech school does not qualify one as a student, since the military member is paid a wage to attend said school, and has absolutely no qualified out of pocket expenses incurred for said school.
Use the lesser of her actual costs or the school’s allowance for cost of attendance (COA). Just keep the 1099-Q and the calculation of how the distribution is covered by education expenses in your tax records. If your tuition was covered/paid (FREE FOR YOU), and you ALSO received a stipend which is on your W-2, the 1098-T would not be reported. If the stipend is used to pay room and board or other expenses, then the stipend is taxable. To be considered as a student in order to be claimed as a dependent by another Taxpayer, such as your parents it needn’t be 5 FULL months just any part of at least 5 months. Yes, as long as she is enrolled at least full time as a student, you would be able to claim her as a dependent on your return.
This is additional training/instruction conducted outside of normal school attendance and is usually geared towards those who may be a bit behind the rest of there class, to help them keep up. During my time, the most common reason for a trainee to be in AIT, is if they missed a few days of class due to illness. Since the student is not your dependent, I suggest the student make the distributions so the 1099-Q is properly issued to the student. Box 5 is reporting the amount of aid, such as scholarships, that went through the school in your name. Q. Do I just list the box 5 amount to answer the question about amount already included in W2 income. I had put that she lived with me for 1 month on turbo tax, and still received the credit.
File your taxes, your way
In the 1098-T screen, click on the link “What if this is not what I paid the school” underneath box 1. You will then be able to enter the actual amounts paid. You will also reach a screen that allows you to adjust the scholarship amount for “amounts not awarded for 2024 expenses”. The numbers on it are not required to be entered onto your tax return. However receipt of a 1098-T frequently means you are either eligible for a tuition credit or possibly your student has taxable scholarship income.
- You say “Tuition paid as part of the program”, I don’t know if you mean it was paid for by some program you’re in, or you mean that was the tuition charged for the program you’re in.
- But, I don’t think a 13 month technical course would meet that criteria.

Does a career and technical school count to claim a full time student?
I posted this on the Sask sub and didn’t get total clarification, my last ditch attempt here before caving and paying for an accountant solely over this issue lol. You were a soldier, on duty, doing the job you are being paid to do. Even West Point cadets are not considered students, for tax purposes. You say “Tuition paid as part of the program”, I don’t know if you mean it was paid for by some program you’re in, or you mean that was the tuition charged for the program you’re in.
If I was in a technical school for my job in the military for 13 months, Does this count as a full-time student?
Maybe I have one of the exemptions since I am on an overseas military base. “A full-time student is a student who is enrolled for the number of hours or courses that the school considers to be full-time attendance.

You can prepare your return through a company we partner with called Sprintax. After graduating in 2021, I began working on OPT in July that year but since I was picked in the h1b lottery, I became an H1B worker on October 1st, 2021. The five calendar months do not have to be consecutive”(IRS). Security Certification of the TurboTax Online application has been performed by C-Level Security.
If you are asking this for an education credit, In order to claim the credit, your school must be listed as an eligible institution with the Department of Education. If it is listed, then assuming you meet the rest of the criteria then you can take it. If it is not listed, then you cannot take the Lifetime Learning Credit. To be a qualified distribution, the money must be withdrawn in the same year that expenses were paid.
You can just not report the 1099-Q, at all, if your student-beneficiary has sufficient educational expenses, including room & board (even if he lives at home) to cover the distribution. In order for you to be considered a full time student, you would have to be at a technical school for something unrelated, that was not part of your military service, then this would count as a full time student. If you are asking this because you are trying to determine if someone else can claim you as a dependent, then this would qualify you as a dependent for graduating from turbotax your parents if you are under 24. If the student is not your dependent, therefore not listed on your tax return, if you do enter the 1099-Q, the program will ask what the distribution was used for.
