We got the w2 for c4c. Is there a schedule anywhere on what deductions they can take for uniforms, equipment.... or is that all taken out pretax?
As a c4c can still be claimed on parents and take deductions I believe since parents provided more than 50% support in 2010
not exactly sure how it works but my roommate just got a huge tax return. if you go to the hanging garment warehouse and ask for a transcript of all your issued uniforms you can put that on your return somewhere. I guess Obama has a program where you can get $1000 back for educational expenses. good luck!
In 2009 there were three tax credits available to help offset the costs of higher education by reducing the amount of your taxable income. They are American Opportunity Credit, the Hope Credit, and the Lifetime Learning Credit. The American Opportunity Credit is the newest education tax credit of the three and is only available for 2009 and 2010. The maximum credit per student is $2,500 and this credit is available for the first 4 years of postsecondary education. It is based on qualified education expenses you pay for yourself, your spouse, or a dependent for which you claim an exemption on your tax return. Qualified education expenses are tuition and certain related expenses required for enrollment or attendance at an eligible educational institution. Eligible educational institutions are any college, university, vocational school, or other postsecondary educational institution eligible to participate in a student aid program administered by the U.S. Department of Education.
Since USAFA student aid program is administered by DOD and not the U.S. Department of Education, it is not an eligible educational institution as defined in IRS publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education, and does not file any Form 1098-T. Generally, an eligible educational institution must send Form 1098-T to each enrolled student by February 1, 2010. Because USAFA is not an eligible educational institution, any education expenses including books, supplies, and equipment needed for a course of study are not qualified
education expenses for American Opportunity Credit, the Hope Credit or Lifetime Learning Credit.
No. It may seem that way because more males apply to the SAs and therefore there are probably more that post on this forum. If you look at the list of USAFA 2015 appointments you'll see quite a few girls (and their parents).
Good Luck!
