For example, I still owed $2000 of my tuition when I graduated in Dec 2015. I paid this amount in February of 2016. Can this be claimed on my tax return?

Yes, out of pocket any cash that you paid to your college or university in 2016 can be included as tuition paid for 2016. Please follow the steps below to include this in your 2016 TurboTax program:

• Open your tax return and select the Federal Taxes tab at the top left of your screen.

• Select Deductions and Credit and I’ll choose what I work on

• Scroll down the page to the Education section

• Go through the interview questions and enter the out-of-pocket cash that you paid to your college or university.
