GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!! FOR STUDENTS WHO PURCHASE BOOKS!!!!! FYI! Please share with others: Students, Keep your receipts! The below message announces a textbook tax credit, where students will be reimbursed for up to 100% of the cost of required textbooks/course materials. When you go to file your tax returns, you should be able to claim expenses as long as you have your receipts for texts. The next paragraph is the official announcement: Text Book Tax Credit The recently launched Obama administration economic stimulus package includes a new Textbook Tax. This new government program will now reimburse students for up to 100% of the cost of required textbooks and other course materials.. For example, if you have out-of-pocket course material expenses or tuition and fees during 2009 or 2010 and no other financial grant aid covers those expenses; you would be able to claim the expenses as a credit. For each student the credit is limited to $2,500. The stimulus bill creates the American Opportunity Tax Credit, which will credit 100% of a student's first $2000 in tuition, fees, and course materials, and 25% of the next $2000. The credit is also 40% refundable, so even if a student doesn't owe taxes, he or she can effectively get a 40% rebate from the federal government for all tuition, fees and course materials.
