IF he were considered at least a half time student,
howsoever the college defines that, then that would qualify
for the HOPE credit.

On a practical note however, I wouldn't bother with it now,
and use the HOPE credit when he is fully enrolled as a
freshman and sophomore for max benefit.

In TaxCut, look up Lifetime Learnng Credit. They mention
that you will probably get a 1098-T as proof of the
expenditure. Assuming your son is your dependent, you get
the 20% credit.

My son took a high school course offered in conjunction with
a local college. He took the college's final exam, got an
"A" and so gets college credit. We had to pay $200 for it.

The college issued a 1098-T.
How do I use it? Does it go on his return, or mine?
TaxCut contains no reference to a 1098-T!
