  • yes you can. the books, the tuition etc. it is part of the total education expense. it would not be challenged.

  • Q&A time says:

    If your expenses are required by your educational institution as part of your enrollment, yes, they are deductible expenses. If I were you, I would deduct it, you would not go wrong!
    Click on below link and read some examples. http://www.irs.gov/publications/p970/ch0…
    “Related expenses. Student-activity fees and expenses for course-related books, supplies, and equipment are included in qualified education expenses only if the fees and expenses must be paid to the institution as a condition of enrollment or attendance.”
    Example 1.
    Jackson is a sophomore in University V’s degree program in dentistry. This year, in addition to tuition, he is required to pay a fee to the university for the rental of the dental equipment he will use in this program. Because the equipment rental fee must be paid to University V for enrollment and attendance, Jackson’s equipment rental fee is a qualified expense.

    No you can’t. You can take an education credit for tuition and fees, but not for other expenses.

  • WP Robot says:

    No, only tuition and items that you are required to purchase from the school qualify for the educational expense deductions.

  • jlf says:

    Doubtful. Even if you could, you’d have to itemize deductions to do so.

  • Des says:

    I dont see why you couldnt. Im facing the same issue. Im taking online courses from a college campus I no longer live near to finish my General Eds, and I was told I could most likely use the internet, as you cant take the internet courses without it…

    So much for Republicans being against new taxes

  • You can also deduct the amount you spend on tax preparing, so that’s another perk.
