can you give me an example of one of these credits?
Okay, The Lifetime Learning Credit allows you to claim up to $2,000 per student per year for any college or career school tuition and fees, as well as for books, supplies, and equipment that were required for the course and had to be purchased from the school.
are there others?
There is the American Opportunity Credit which allows you to claim up to $2,500 per student per year for the first four years of school as the student works toward a degree or similar credential.
