Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Good day 33paulk88,

 

Its wonderful that you can help your grandchildren with their higher education.

To possibly claim a tax credit for education expenses, you would have to claim your grandchildren as dependents on your tax return.   

Personal expenses (which this would be considered) do not qualify as a charitable contribution regardless of where the funds are from. 

Thank you for reaching out to the TurboTax Community
