Can i deduct my childs college tuition

Yes, but not exactly. The tuition you paid qualifies for a tax credit, if your child is your dependent. The tuition credit has a $2500 maximum, regardless of how much you paid. But, it is a tax credit not just a deduction from income.

In TurboTax (TT), enter at:

Federal Taxes Tab 

Deductions & Credits

-Scroll down to:

--Education

  --Education Expenses
