Re: Form IT-272, TurboTax Premier says:

 

        New York offers tax breaks only for undergraduate college tuition.

        Was <name> an undergraduate student in 2024? Yes/No

 

So if I get a form 1098-T from a qualified college for a college credit course and my dependent is in high school full time, does NY allow a deduction? Can I answer Yes to the above question?

 

Thanks

    Yes, any college student with qualified college expense according to Pub 10-W: FAQs - New York State College Tuition Credit and Itemized Deductions.

    here's the latest version of that doc I could find

    https://www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/publications/income/2009/pub10w.pdf

     

    It states:

     

    the eligible student does not have to be enrolled in a degree program or attend full-time for
    the tuition expenses to qualify.
