Can I claim internet access for college expense?

To see if a school is eligible to take education credits

 

Enter your school at the link below, to see if it's on the dept. of education list.

Can I claim internet access for college expense?

Q. Can I claim internet access for college expense?

A. Probably not.  Internet access probably qualifies as a "required" educational expense, but only if you acquired it specifically for education, and that's unlikely (usually you already had internet access before the education started).

 

But, as @xmasbaby0   pointed out, your bigger issue may be whether the school even qualifies as an "eligible institution" for claiming an education/tuition credit. 

Schools that only offer online courses usually do not qualify.  Online classes taken at schools that also have  classroom instruction usually do count.
