Get That Refund: College Tax Basics

It’s tax season, and if you’re in college, you might have cash waiting for you in the form of a refund. Let’s break it down.

Refund Eligibility

If you worked a part-time job, check your W-2 for withheld taxes. Filing your return might mean getting that money back. Forbes says, “Even students who earn minimal income can benefit from filing taxes.”

Credits = Cash Back

• American Opportunity Credit: Up to $1,000 refundable—even if you don’t owe taxes.
• Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC): Designed for low-to-moderate earners.

Avoid Common Mistakes

• Filing Too Late: According to Le Monde Financier, “Students who file in January often see refunds faster than those who wait.”
• Forgetting Forms: Keep track of W-2s, 1098-Ts, and loan interest statements.

Tools like FreeTaxUSA or IRS Free File make the process simple.
