    International student tax
    Hi, is it possible to know how much refund I could get after getting about 30 thousand dollars on my 1098-T form.

    NOTHING, because, as an international student, you are a non-resident alien, and non-resident aliens are NOT eligible to claim ANY of the education credits.

    Sorry.

    Sorry.
    I also have a job on campus where I receive about 500 dollars monthly. Am I ineligible to get any refunds on that also?

    Possibly, depending on how much was withheld. But the money paid under the Form 1098-T is not even factored into the calculations.
