1040NR or 1040 if 1040 returns are more

Thanks AtlantaTaxExpert you are AWESOME

Thanks for all who help us.

I am qualified for 1040NR and i filled out both forms 1040NR-EZ and 1040 to check.

1) Can i claim qualified education expenses? because i pay the loan of 5400 and also paid around 250$ of intrest.

If i add 5400 as qualified education expenses in 1040, i am getting 800$ more. Is it okay to add "qualified education expensis" because Turbo tax allowed it to add.

Thanks in advance for your kind help

Regards
JOJI

However, you cannot claim any education credit or deduction for the tuition you paid.
