A dependent is taking an on- line couse offered through an accredited university.  The course is self-paced with no set deadline, was eligible for a student loan, and they will receive an academic certificate when completed.  The course provides new skills for employment in a new area.   Are tuition and related expenses deductible?

    Yes. Education credit should be claimed if qualified. TurboTax will give you the appropriate credit as you go through the program interview.

    Q.  Are tuition and related expenses deductible?

    A.  Yes. Technically, not deductible but eligible for the tuition credit. 

     

    In TurboTax (TT), enter at:

    Federal Taxes Tab (Personal for H&B version)

    Deductions & Credits

    -Scroll down to:

    --Education

      --Education Expenses and Scholarships (1098-T)

    After answering no to having a 1098-T, answer yes to qualifying for an exception (that gets you to the entry screens).
