Actually, I didn't owe the government anything. The government decided to finally pay back people who go to school or the parents who claim you as a dependent and pay for your school. But now you can add textbooks and school expenses to the list, not just the tuition you pay. It's called the American Opportunity Credit. My dad is a CPA and licensed tax preparer. When it comes to my taxes, he's going to try to find areas he can get me money... and damn he did.
Definitely spending little on the money I get. Buying those other things on base.
