  • Explore the impact of scholarships on education-related tax credits.
  • Maximize deductions available for student loan interest.
  • Know about 529 plan rollovers and state tax issues.
  • Determine business deductions for self-employed education expenses.

Course Overview

Understanding education-related tax credits is crucial for taxpayers seeking to maximize financial benefits during tax season. Many taxpayers miss opportunities to save due to confusion over which credits apply to them and how to properly claim them.

This CE Course will cover key tax credits such as the American Opportunity Credit (AOC) and the Lifetime Learning Credit (LLC), as well as education savings tools like 529 plans and Education Savings Accounts (ESAs). We will also explore the impact of scholarships and student loan interest deductions, giving you a comprehensive understanding of how these benefits can reduce tax liabilities. We'll also explain how tax-free scholarships can affect the amount of expenses eligible for these credits and review the rules regarding student loan interest deductions.

Additionally, we’ll discuss 529 plan rollovers to Roth IRAs, an exciting new option for saving beyond educational expenses. This rollover has state conformity issues that may affect its tax treatment, so understanding these nuances is essential for maximizing savings and avoiding unexpected tax liabilities.

Key topics covered in this course:

  • American Opportunity Credit and lifetime learning credit
  • 529 plans and education savings accounts
  • Student loan interest
  • Tax preparer due diligence

Join this CE Tax Course and learn how to maximize education tax benefits for your clients and how to webinar your due diligence to ensure proper application of credits in light of AGI, lifetime, and return limits.
