So this will affect retrospectively?

How is that fair?

I don’t this will survive the court challenges. Simply a mean spirited and bone headed move. I hope no dreamer on this forum ever defends this asshat or his administration on these forums ever again.

ridiculous....smh. who knew my college education would bite me back in the ass because i took the American Opportunity Tax Credits that was offered to me. maybe it was better staying in the shadows...

nobody deserves to get treated this way mayne...

#TrumpDreamers my ass.

I don’t think those tuition credit should affect us. Most of us have good careers and jobs now anyway.

Wait up. This EITC is the same thing as the tax return you get every year after filing taxes? Wtf? why would anyone turn that down after getting huge chunks of money taken out of their paycheck every month?

Where are the Trump defenders?

wtf, this is ridiculous. Not sure what is the tax credit? I got the Lifetime learning credit when I filed my taxes. Does that count? :(

I’m just going to continue taking deductions. Trump leaving office in 2020 and the policy will be rolled back or I’m leaving because I’m not going to live through another 4 years of Trump presidency. All the talent from around the world won’t come to the US if immigration policies are this extreme.

No quite sure, many accounting all ways said there's only 2 status PR and citizen. Also remember this is a law no accounting business.
