Is tuition to an international university (Netherlands) allowed to be reported as educational expenses?

Yes, but only if it is a qualifying educational institution.

Educational expenses at a foreign university are deductible if the school is an eligible school.  Please check this link before proceeding.

If your school is eligible, you don't need a 1098-T or an EIN. 

To enter your education expenses (even if you didn't get a 1098-T):

  1. Log into your account and continue (if not already there).
  2. In the Search box (top right-hand corner), type “education”.
  3. Click on the Magnifying Glass icon.
  4. Click on “Jump to education” link high-lighted in Blue.
  5. Answer the Step-by-step instructions.
  6. Check "No" when asked if you received a 1098-T.
  7. Check on "I qualify for an exemption" when asked.
  8. Check the box for foreign address, so you won't need a zip code when it asks "Where did you go to school in 2018?"
  9. You can then enter all your applicable expenses. Be sure to convert to U.S. dollars
