Are there tax incentives for going to school in 2009-10?

Yes on your 1040 income tax return you have several different types of benefits available for this purpose. Go to the IR.gov web site and use the search box for Publication 970 (2009), Tax Benefits for EducationWhat's NewAmerican opportunity credit. This new education tax credit (a modification of the Hope credit) is available for 2009 and 2010. The maximum credit per student is $2,500 (100% of the first $2,000 and 25% of the next $2,000 of qualified education expenses). The credit is available for the first 4 years of postsecondary education, and 40% of the credit is refundable for most taxpayers. The threshold at which this credit is reduced is higher than that for the Hope and lifetime learning credits. For 2009, the amount of your credit is gradually reduced (phased out) if your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is between $80,000 and $90,000 ($160,000 and $180,000 if you file a joint return). You cannot claim a credit if your MAGI is $90,000 or more ($180,000 or more if you file a joint return). For more information, see chapter 2.Eligibility for the Hope credit. For 2009, you can claim a Hope credit only if at least one eligible student is attending an eligible educational institution in a Midwestern disaster area and you do not claim an American opportunity credit for any other student in the same year.
