sophia.org student loans irs education credit

I wasn't looking so much for the financial aid as I was getting the education tax credit from the IRS. I'm guessing that since the IRS doesn't offer the credit to correspondence schools, I'm guessing Sophia will fall into something similar.

No, since it isn't an accredited title IV college they will not issue you the 1098-T form that you need to file with the IRS in order to qualify for the education tax credit on qualified tuition and related expenses (including amounts paid for books, supplies, and equipment needed for a course of study).

However any tuition paid, or money spent on books, etc. for to attend WGU, TESU, COSC, or EC will count toward education tax credits, etc.
