Does Apple issue credit to college students?

We Answered:

Having worked in computer sales for many years, the only way we give credit or create payment plans is if the customer has a continuing and regular source of income. As a business it is unlikely that they will offer credit. However, I have sold many computers to students via a loan or scholarship from the schools and colleges themselves. It would be well worth speaking to financial liason officers or equivilants at your school.

Is the hope credit for college students still in effect on next years income tax?

We Answered:

It may or may not have been decided yet about 2010 tax returns that will be filed Jan-Apr 2011.
However, go to the local IRS office, or call the IRS 800 number. Ask what forms were required this year.. Get the form AND the DIRECTIONS for it. Start reading.

2009 $2500 Tax Credit for college students, can someone explain please?

We Answered:

If you aren't claimed on your parent's taxes and file your own taxes, you will be able to take the tax credit for 2009. Tax credits are subtracted directly from the tax a family or student owes. You had to have made enough to be taxed $2500 in order to benefit from this credit.

Hope this helps!

Did the proposed tax credit for college students of $4,000 in return for 100 community service hours pass yet?

We Answered:

No, a compromise tax credit was passed called the American Opportunity Tax Credit. It is worth up to $2,500 and is only available for 2009 and 2010 (although it probably will be extended).
