Question

Should I select full-time student for 2023 if I graduated in May 2023? It's right on the 5 month mark and I am confused.

I graduated on May 13th, I am not sure when I was technically considered graduated though. I also do not have a 1098T form for 2023.

If you were a full time student for any part of a month in any 5 months of the year then you can considered a full time student.

You will qualify as a student if you started the semester in January and graduated in May.


Per the IRS, "To qualify as a student, the person must be a full time-student, during some part of each of any five calendar months of the year".
