Can we write off some of the money we paid towards our daughter’s apartment while attending college?

She is claiming herself this year. Can we still claim the amount of money we paid towards housing?

posted

No. Room and board expenses are not deductible even for college students. Even if you were claiming her, you cannot deduct any amounts paid towards her housing as any type of tax deduction.

Is room and board deductible?
