I enrolled in the Boston University Online Genealogical Research certificate program and paid in full in 2009 ($2495 with 10% NEHGS or NGS discount).<br /><br />I did file for the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit and this did help with my 2009 US Federal income taxes which I just filed.<br /><br />Also, since I had to cash in an IRA in 2009 to cover various expenses, I was able to diminish the sting of the 10% penalty by stating that a portion went to cover my education. I don't think many realize that more and more of us who've been "funemployed" since the Great Recession have had to cash in retirement money. It helps to be able to lessen the impact of the 10% early withdrawal penalty.Thomas MacEnteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925130637060406529noreply@blogger.com
