Should I report my education expenses as an Education Credit or as a Tuition and Fees Deduction?

The Tuition and Fees Deduction is now available for tax years after 2017

To determine if you are able to claim the American Opportunity Credit or the Lifetime Learning Credit (and for information about the Tuition and Fees Deduction for years prior to 2018), review our article Comparison of the Education Credits available.
