To enter your education expenses, you will take the following steps to enter your 1098-T to see if you can claim the Lifetime Learning Credit:

  • Federal
  • Deductions and Credits
  • Show more next to education
  • Start next to Expenses and Scholarships
  • Walk through to enter your educations expenses.

The Lifetime Learning Credit is a non-refundable credit, which means if you do not have a tax liability, you will not benefit from the credit as it can only take your tax due down to $0, it will not cause you to get a refund.
