Question

Can I deduct my rent if I use my grants to pay for rent?

If I use my grants to pay for my rent can I deduct the amount on tuition expenses?

No. Rent is not a deductible expense. If you use grants or scholarships to pay for rent, the amount used to pay for rent becomes taxable income. There is not a deduction for rent as an education expense.

Rent is not a qualified education expense.
