With the sky rocketing tution at American colleges, any help to offset the costly price to attend college is great for any parent or student. Did you know that if you're attending college right now or plan to attend to college that you may be eligible for a $2,500 tax credit.The American Opportunity Tax Credit gives parents and students $2,500 each year to students attending college. To check if you and/or your parents qualify check out: American Opportunity Tax Credit. Now this tax credit in place is soon to expire unless Congress pass legislation to keep the tax credit. If you want this tax credit to be around while you're attending school, make sure you vote for your congress person who supports the American Opportunity Tax Credit. If you don't know if they support the American Opportunity Tax Credit, then check out your congress person website, or call their office. Remember its education funding for us-the students to attend school. Speak Up and Speak Out.
