PhD Student Tax Credits

Hi Y'all,

I wanted to find out if I as a second year PhD student (who is in his fourth year of grad school--I did two years of a master's in this period) qualifies for any tax credits?

I made about $23.5k last year and have $11,250 in scholarship money that I earned last year.

TurboTax is estimating I owe the feds about $830 in total for my taxes (I live in Florida, so state tax doesn't matter at this junction).

Is there any way I can get that number as close to 0 as possible?
