I work full time. Is there a tax benefit to being a full-time student?

Question

I am debating whether I want to take 1 more class this semester that would put me in 12 units, which is full time. I also work full time. How will this affect my tax return, if at all?

Answer 1

There are no tax breaks for being a full time student. But if you aren't a dependent, you can take an education credit for a part of your tuition and fees.
