Canadian Universites-tax credits for US students?

Colleges and Universities A-Z McGill University

<p>Colleges and Universities in the US send out form 1098-T in February to help students and families determine if they are eligible for educational Hope or Lifetime learning tax credits on their US tax returns. I assume there are no options for US students at McGill, but wondered if anyone else has inquired about this. The Minerva for Guests site shows several categories of tax-type information that one can look up on the student e-bill, but the links are blank as my son is a US citizen.
It is impressive that with the already-low tuition there are possibly additional tax credits for Canadians.</p>

<p>There is no info from the US IRS readily available about students who are studying at foreign Universities.</p>

<p>McGill Dad, what was your experience with this?</p>

<p>I am not a tax expert, but my computer tax program has always figured out for me which tax credit (Lifetime or Hope) I am eligible for and taken the appropriate actions. The McGill tuition is more than enough to meet the IRS guidelines. The rest depends on your family income.</p>

<p>Someone may know more technical information.</p>

<p>Thanks,
I will continue to try and get more info out of the IRS and will post if I hear any specifics.</p>
