Yes, if you have qualifying education expenses, you can get tax breaks for them, regardless of your age and status as a parent. Walk through the Education Expenses section carefully, making sure to answer the questions accurately. Read the additional information links whenever they appear.

TurboTax will compute your credit or deduction to maximize your tax breaks based on the information that you enter.
