I may be having a "foggy brain" moment but I can't seem to find any info on this.

Situation: Individual taxpayer went to a vocational/trade school for cosmetology. Received a properly filled out 1098-T showing tuition paid of $7k. Taxpayer would be eligible to claim based on income and whatnot.

This particular school is not listed on the DAPIP (Database of Accredited
Postsecondary Institutions and Programs). Per IRS: https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/eligible-educational-ins...

So of course, to the taxpayer, they totally believe they are eligible because they were given the 1098-T. But if the school is not on the DAPIP, does that automatically rule it out from either education credit?

Thanks for the help in advance!
