Student tuition deduction

[jlgreenpes]

My wife paid a Master Course. Can I include that cost into my tax return?

If you are filing as married filing jointly, then you can enter her tuition expenses. You may qualify for an education credit or deduction. Please view the IRS education credit comparison chart, as it shows the qualifications of each credit.
