Coinsurance is the percentage of your medical bill you share with your insurance company after youâve paid your deductible. Unless you have a policy with 100 percent coverage for everything, you have to pay a coinsurance amount. You have an â80/20â plan.
If students paid qualified tuition, or if someone paid on the student's behalf, the student (or if the student is a dependent, the taxpayer) may be able to claim an education credit on their tax return. Students cannot claim an education credit for any amount that was not paid as a qualified tuition or expense. Just being billed does not qualify the student for the credit. You may be able to deduct qualified tuition and related expenses that you pay for yourself, your spouse, or a dependent whom you claim as an exemption, as a tuition and fees deduction. The student must be enrolled in one or more courses at an eligible institution and have a high school diploma or GED.
