I went to school for makeup and used TFC student loan financing to pay it, is it deductible?

Yes, you can include this amount. It doesn't matter how your educational expenses were paid; eligible expenses can be deducted whether they were paid out-of-pocket or through a student loan. However, you must have attended an eligible educational institution to be eligible for claiming an education credit. A qualifying educational institution is any college, university, vocational school, or post-secondary educational institution eligible to participate in a student aid program administered by the US Department of Education (which is pretty much every accredited post-secondary educational institution).

Please view this TurboTax FAQ for more information about claiming an education credit.
