Question

I attended an international university overseas, but it is not accredited by the US DOE. How can I file that tuition in my taxes? The amount is close to 15000 USD

To clarify, are you trying to claim scholarship income or are you trying to use it for an education credit? 

 

If the school is not accredited, you cannot use the expense for an education credit.

If you are Self-Employed and the education was taken to improve your work skills, you might be able to take the tuition as a business expense.
