I went to a coding bootcamp and was wondering if the tuition paid for that can be filed in my taxes? It is not a college payment or anything.

No, you cannot deduct this expense on your tax return except if the bootcamp was for a business.

If it is for a business and it helps maintain or improve your skills in the business you are in, then it is deductible as a business expense.

Probably not.  

 To be eligible for the tuition credits , the course must be taken at "an eligible institution". The school should be able to tell you if it is an eligible educational institution. In general, an eligible educational institution is an accredited college, university, vocational school, or other postsecondary educational institution, including accredited, public, nonprofit, and proprietary (privately-owned, profit-making) postsecondary institutions. Additionally, in order to be an eligible educational institution, the school must be eligible to participate in a student aid program administered by the Department of Education. If they issue a 1098-T they are probably an eligible institution.

Enter your school at the link below, to see if it's on the dept. of education list.
