"I pay for my grandson's college education, using funds I put into a TAP 529. Can I get a deduction for Federal purposes on the college expenses"

[xs74pqw]

Payments for the college included tuition, books, the dorm, food plan, and lab fees.

[HelenaC · Accepted solution]

No, you can only deduct education expenses if your grandson was a dependent on your income tax return.

Please see Why didn't I get a credit or deduction for education expenses?
