I attended a short-term computer programming bootcamp(with General Assembly). Does that qualify as a certificate program?

did anyone find out if we can get tuition tax break on tax returns for bootcamp certification programs?

The answer is yes if you actually got a certificate or credential.  The more important question is was the school an "eligible institution". 

To be eligible for the tuition credits or tuition & fees deduction, the course must be taken at "an eligible institution". The school should be able to tell you if it is an eligible educational institution. In general, an eligible educational institution is an accredited college, university, vocational school, or other postsecondary educational institution, including accredited, public, nonprofit, and proprietary (privately-owned, profit-making) postsecondary institutions. Additionally, in order to be an eligible educational institution, the school must be eligible to participate in a student aid program administered by the Department of Education. If they issue a 1098-T they are probably an eligible institution.

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