How does tuition effect taxable income?

[Murse]

I'm looking at going to school for a bachelors and have been calculating how my pay will increase after taxes vs tuition. I need to know how (if at all) the tuition will affect taxes so I can have an apples to apples comparison.

If you have to pay the tuition you can use one of the tuition credits or deductions. Look for Hope and Lifetime Learning. IIRC you can get a 20% credit for up to $10k/year in qualified expenses.
