Student Tax CreditsThis week marks the beginning of April and we all know what comes very soon after the first of April. It’s no April Fools gag that tax time is upon us! If you’ve been procrastinating, it’s time to roll up your sleeves, dig in and get your taxes ready to go in the mail.

Only once in my life was I riding around near midnight to find an open post office so my taxes could be stamped with April 15th.  It was a terrible feeling and one I vowed never to experience again and so far I haven’t. If you’ve read any of my previous posts, you know I am big on goals and meeting deadlines. This year I was a little later than usual since I must shamefully admit I procrastinated a bit, but all should be fine since I did finally bite the bullet and do it.

Student Tax Breaks May Help You Save Up to $2,000

Now, about taxes for students… I found this interesting article today Tax Breaks for Students by Jamie Littlefield which offers some pretty cool advice for students and several great resources to help students take advantage of tax breaks. In this economy, any help from the IRS is welcome!

Covered in the article is information about the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit, the Hope Scholarship Tax Credit, the Higher Education Tuition & Fees Deduction and more good information. If you are attending college – even part time – you should check out this informative resource to see if you can qualify for any type of tax credit.
