It takes a woman to put some sense into a man. I was talking to my girlfriend about doing my taxes. She mentioned that she was getting a nice refund for her tuition expenses. That's when I said,"What are you talking about"? Turns out, I was entitled to a huge tax credit each year I had been in night school. When I did the numbers, I figured out I was entitled to another $1900.00. That was just for the current year. Now multiply that by three for the three years previous that I plan to amend. Now it appears I have about $7000.00 extra money coming back I knew nothing about. Oh joy, what will I do with the money........ __________________ 1998 (July) 318ti, 5-spd OEM Armrest Blaupunkt Heidelberg CD50 CD Player/Compact Drive MP3 Player Diamond Audio 5.25" rear speakers Navman ICN 530 GPS BMWALARM.COM (with comfort settings) after market alarm system Magnecor 8.5mm wires M-Z3 Shifter/Momo Knob Burlwood Dashboard Stromung Exhaust X-brace Racing Dynamics Front Strut Bar Carbonio C.A.I. 17" Rial Rims Vader Seats/Heated/Lumbar Support M-tech Steering Wheel/Front Sway Bar/Front & Rear Bumper Depos/w 6500K Angel Eyes/6000K HIDs Clear Corners M3 Mirrors UUC Light Weight Flywheel/M5 Clutch/M3 Clutch Slave E28 3.46 LSD/Mcoupe Cover/E30 Flanges & Halfshafts UUC S.S.

I have the same situation here. __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 03-01-2006, 10:05 PM | #11 | Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: So Cal Posts: 70 | Depends on how much they covered... if your total out to school was more than you received in from reimbursements, grants, etc. Then you get a refund for that money spent. I'm a veteran pickin up a nice check each month for school so I get nothing (OUT=~$800/yr in tuition / IN=~$2000/mo in GI Bill). The wife gets money back though.

My old company paid next to nothing. My new company pays 100% for an "A", 90% "B" and "75% for "C". So for the years I am getting amended, I paid out of pocket over $30,000.
