School Tuition

So, I'm currently attending a vocational school that is not eligible for federal loans. Is there ANY way I can write off my out of pocket tuition?

I have asked, and they don't meet the requirements for a 1098-T, but I have paid about $6,000 in 2022.

Any advice?

As Hal_Al mentioned in this discussion, you are not eligible for any education credit for your tuition.

This information from the IRS says that the institution must be eligible to participate in a student aid program.

No.

Even the lesser Lifetime Learning Credit requires that you attend an "eligible institution'' (must be on the DOE student loan list).
