Trying to do my taxes and a bit confused on what is considered a tax credit for the Hope Credit or Lifetime Credit. My qualified tuition and expenses are $3176.00 while the Scholarships/Grants is 2901.00. The difference is 275$. I did a student loan for $1750. Im not paying anything on the loan yet, im still in school. But my question is what do I get back? I understand you get money back on a loan, but not the scholarships if they are directed towards the tuition and expenses. I know the Hope Scholarship is directed towards to tuition, but not sure about the Pell. Im sure its a dumb longshot, but what if I claim my loans towards the tuition rather than the Pell? I've read all sorts of sources, but nothing really explains what is "priority" payment on tuition over another type of payment. Its probably more SAFE to just claim the 275$ on loans....GIVE ME SOME ADVICE! Thanks!
