Individuals can qualify for an educational tax credit for tuition and fees paid for undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education courses. A family can claim on its tax return a credit equal to 20 percent of the first $10,000 of educational expenses for a maximum tax credit of $2,000. Eligible education expenses are offset by scholarships, grants, and employer-provided tax-free educational assistance. The tax credit is subject to income and other limitations. For detailed information, consult IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Higher Education, which can be obtained at any IRS office or on their website.
