If I went to college online and paid to have an internet subscription in my home for school purposes, is it tax deductible?

[NicoleU · Accepted solution]

Your situation may qualify for an Education Credit, per the IRS, "An eligible educational institution is any college, university, vocational school, or other postsecondary educational institution eligible to participate in a student aid program administered by the U.S. Department of Education. It includes virtually all accredited public, nonprofit, and proprietary (privately owned profit-making) postsecondary institutions. The educational institution should be able to tell you if it is an eligible educational institution."

If the program falls within this IRS eligibility information, then the institution or college would have issued you a Form 1098-T, as a result. I would suggest confirming with you college.

If so & once confirmed,  you would need to click Federal Taxes, then click Deductions & Credits,  look for Education, Expenses and scholarships.
