My wife and I are retired and we have been providing support for a foreign student who lives in Kenya.  We pay his monthly living expenses and his school tuition fees.  We have a record of funds sent by Western Union to his bank account in Kenya.  Can we use this support for a deduction?

    Unfortunately, expenses incurred to support a foreign student are not tax deductible.
