How Is the Credit Claimed?
You elect to claim the lifetime learning credit and you figure the amount to claim by completing Parts II and III of Form 8863. A
filled-in Form 8863 is shown in the Illustrated Example at the end of this chapter.
An eligible educational institution (such as a college or university) that received payment of qualified tuition and related expenses in 2001
generally must issue Form 1098-T,
Tuition Payments Statement, to each student by February 1, 2002. The information on Form
1098-T will help you determine whether you can claim an education tax credit for 2001. The eligible educational institution may ask for a
completed Form W-9S,
Request for Student's or Borrower's Social Security Number and Certification, or similar statement to
obtain the student's name, address, and taxpayer identification number.
