Deductions & credits

The Tuition and Fees deduction was eliminated, but then it was extended retroactively. 

This means that in 2018 it was not available, but guess what? Congress recently changed its mind and decided to allow it for 2018 (as well as 2019 and 2020) 

Rather than Amend and file a 2018 1040X, you can file Form 8917 and take the deduction if eligible.
