<p>I attended two colleges in Fall 2008. One college was a full ride plus living expenses. The other college I paid for entirely. Do I subtract the cost of the second college from living expenses from the first when determining if I fill out an 8917 return form?</p>
<p>Thank you for helping me avoid paying a consultant.</p>
<p>Wow, page 3 in one day.</p>
<p>BUMP for tax season.</p>
<p>I took classes at two different institutions last year and so ended up with two 1098T forms. I just added them up and used the total on my tax return.</p>
<p>But your situations sounds a bit more complicated to me. Have you read through all of the instructions for both the Tuition Deduction and the Tax Credit? Did that help at all?</p>
<p>If it didn’t, I say send a pm to taxguy
He posted something in the Parent’s forum just the other day, so I’m sure he’s not swallowed up yet with tax work.</p>
