Education Creditsut: on Federal 1040 Which Education credits am I eligible for based on the following:
I was:
-At least half-time during 2011
-Attending an accredited college/university working toward degree
But:
I already completed a Bachelors Degree in 2003.
Can I still utilize the Hope Credit/American Opportunity Act due to the fact that my degree was in Communications the first time around, but now I am pursuing the field of Nursing. I know that the credit is typically limited to being claimed only 4 time (formerly 2 times). First off, I'm not even sure if I took these credits back then because it's been so long ago, but in addition to that, I think my parents actually claimed me as a dependent back then, therefore meaning that THEY took the credit.
Please help....
