I wonder if someone can help me with this.
I am doing the taxes for my daughter in law, who is attending night school 3 nights a week with the goal of obtaining a Certificate in Culinary Arts. Her goal is to change careers and improve her income. She will be taking a full course of studies over a period of 1 1/2 years and will graduate with a Certificate. The question is whether she will be eligible for the "American Opportunity Credit" treatment on her taxes, and not whether there is some other tax treatment that will bring back some of the paid tuition.
I ran things through TurboTax and it appeared to feel that she WAS eligible, but I want to be certain before we move forward with claiming that.
Your help is much appreciated
