New York State tuition deduction for college credit course taken by full time high school student IT-272

[user-1253]

Re: Form IT-272, TurboTax Premier says:

        New York offers tax breaks only for undergraduate college tuition.

        Was <name> an undergraduate student in 2024? Yes/No

So if I get a form 1098-T from a qualified college for a college credit course and my dependent is in high school full time, does NY allow a deduction? Can I answer Yes to the above question?

Thanks

Yes, any college student with qualified college expense according to Pub 10-W: FAQs - New York State College Tuition Credit and Itemized Deductions.

here's the latest version of that doc I could find

https://www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/publications/income/2009/pub10w.pdf

It states:

the eligible student does not have to be enrolled in a degree program or attend full-time for
the tuition expenses to qualify.
