Are you a student who took classes at the school?

 

According to IRS publication 17, you are a full-time student if you are enrolled at a school for the number of hours or classes that the school considers full time. You must be full-time for some part of each of 5 calendar months during the year. (The months need not be consecutive) 

 

This question is asked to decide if you qualify to claim any education tax credits and deduction.
