Making back payments for 2021 education, in 2022, is neither eligible for a 2022 credit or a 2021 credit. I’m ASSUMING that means they were doing Form RC360 every year. Also, for those who may be wondering, “AIT” stands for Advanced Individual Training.
If I was in a technical school for my job in the military for 13 months, Does this count as a full-time student?
This is additional training/instruction conducted outside of normal school attendance and is usually geared towards those who may be a bit behind the rest of there class, to help them keep up. During my time, the most common reason for a trainee to be in AIT, is if they missed a few days of class due to illness. Since the student is not your dependent, I suggest the student make the distributions so the 1099-Q is properly issued to the student. Box 5 is reporting the amount of aid, such as scholarships, that went through the school in your name. Q. Do I just list the box 5 amount to answer the question about amount already included in W2 income. I had put that she lived with me for 1 month on turbo tax, and still received the credit.
File your taxes, your way
To receive guidance from our tax experts and community. You must meet all three of the basic requirements to claim an education credit (American Opportunity Tax Credit and Lifetime Learning Credit).

This generated a 1099 from my brokerage firm, which I uploaded to TurboTax. Apparently, adding these stock losses makes my return “complex” and TT now wants to charge me $150 for an upgraded version of their software.
Expert does your taxes
If you actually paid the 2025 tuition, in 2024, that would count. But, that’s just academic, as you’re probably covered anyway. You would select “Someone not on this tax return” and that would be the end of it. I had jobs on campus since I got to the U.S so every year I filed taxes. I also had to pay taxes on my scholarship for college, that’s why I got form 1042s.
You can and usually should claim the tuition credit before claiming the 529 plan earnings exclusion. The educational expenses he claims for the 1099-Q should be reduced by the amount of educational expenses you claim for the credit. You cannot count the same tuition money, for the tuition credit, that gets him an exclusion from the taxability of the earnings (interest) on the 529 plan. Since the credit is more generous; use as much of the tuition as is needed for the credit and the rest for the interest exclusion. He’ll have to pay tax on the earnings, at his lower tax rate (subject to the “kiddie tax”), but not the penalty. A person who attended technical school while a member of the military is not eligible for education credits on a tax return, nor is he considerd as being a student for purposes of being a “Qualifying Child” dependent.

Am I eligible for education credits?
A. You claim the room and board and book expenses against the 1099-Q. So do I enter the 1098T and then just list the box 5 amount to answer the question about amount already included in W2 income. Generally, F-1 visa holders are not considered residents until their 6th calendar year in the United States. Therefore, from 2017 until Sep 2021 you were exempt from the Substantial Presence Test because of the F-1 visa. Your days counting towards the Substantial Presence Test started on Oct 1st, 2021, when you got the H1B visa.
If I was in a technical school for my job in the military for 13 months, Does this count as a full-time student?
Since undergrad and grad are in the same tax year, both qualify for all education credits so enter them like always. Stipends are taxable depending on what they are used for. If the stipend is used for qualified education expenses, you would not have pay taxes on any amount used for those qualified education expenses. No, you are not eligible to claim the education credits for 2022 if you were not an eligible student enrolled at an eligible educational institution in 2022.

Or if you graduating from turbotax find it easier, just change the numbers in boxes 1& 5 to what your records show. The 1098-T that you enter in TT is not sent to the IRS. You will have to Form 1040-NR because you are still a nonresident alien for 2021. TurboTax does not support Form 1040NR for a nonresident.
Use the lesser of her actual costs or the school’s allowance for cost of attendance (COA). Just keep the 1099-Q and the calculation of how the distribution is covered by education expenses in your tax records. If your tuition was covered/paid (FREE FOR YOU), and you ALSO received a stipend which is on your W-2, the 1098-T would not be reported. If the stipend is used to pay room and board or other expenses, then the stipend is taxable.
