Can I claim my school textbooks as tax deductible along with my tuition?

Yes, for the American Opportunity Credit or the Lifetime Learning Credit, you can deduct your books and supplies that are required for enrollment or attendance at an eligible education institution.  Please note that for the American Opportunity Credit is only for the first four years of undergraduate school.
