    No, your children are not considered students who can deduct any education tax credits. Only a child of at least 17 years old and enrolled in a qualifying college, university, or educational institution, is eligible for the tuition credit. Please see our TurboTax article for further information. Deducting Your Child’s School Tuition From Your Taxes?
