You're eligible for this deduction if you don't qualify for the American Opportunity Credit or the Lifetime Learning Credit, unless:

  • You’re filing as single or head of household and your AGI exceeds $80,000.
  • You’re filing jointly and your combined AGI exceeds $160,000.
  • You’re filing separately from your spouse.
  • Someone else, such as a parent, is eligible to claim you as a dependent on their tax return (whether or not they actually do it).

I am also attaching a TurboTaxHelp article for your reference:
