My son is in an electrical apprenticeship program. He does not receive any type of tax form from the school. Does he qualify for any type of educational deduction?

Yes, if the school is a Qualifying educational institution and he meets all the requirements.

What is an Eligible Educational Institution?

An eligible educational institution is a school offering higher education beyond high school. It is any college, university, vocational school, or other post secondary educational institution eligible to participate in a student aid program run by the U.S. Department of Education.

This includes most accredited public, nonprofit and privately-owned–for-profit postsecondary institutions.

If you aren’t sure if your school is an eligible educational institution:

• Ask your school if it is an eligible educational institution, or

• See if your school is on the U.S. Federal Student Aid Code List.

TIP: A small number of schools, not on this list, may be eligible educational institutions. So, you may need to ask the school.
