However, you may not know that most of the bill's $70 billion for education will go to low- to middle-income individuals. A major part of the bill is a $13.8 billion tuition tax credit boost called the American Opportunity Tax Credit. This tax credit reimburses 100 percent of the first $2,000 of educational expenses for lower income students.
