I purchased a computer for school in 2015, but did not start class until Jan. 2016. Can I claim the expense? If so, where?

[SusanH · Accepted solution]

Unfortunately, qualified education expenses are deductible for the year that you had them and when you also attended college during that same year. You will not be able to deduct the computer on your 2015 tax return.

You may wish to review this FAQ for expenses you incur while attending classes during 2016.
