4. Lifetime Learning Credit
The lifetime learning credit lets you claim 20% of the first $10,000 you paid toward tuition and fees, for a maximum of $2,000. Like the American opportunity tax credit, the lifetime learning credit doesn't count living expenses or transportation as eligible expenses. You can claim books or supplies needed for coursework.
