The Lifetime Learning Credit appears on form 8863. The amount of the credit, if any, flows to line 3 on Schedule 3 (1040).

The Lifetime Learning Credit (LLC)  is a non-refundable credit.  That is, it can only be used to reduce an actual  tax liability.  It is not money that is added to your refund.  The more generous American Opportunity Credit (AOC) is 40% refundable.
