Deductions & credits
Gifts to children are never deductible. Unless you have a 529 plan, housing at college is not a qualified education expense and cannot be deducted.
If you purchased a condo then you can enter it as a second home and deduct the mortgage, property tax and loan origination points.
GIFTS
Gifts given to family members, friends or other individuals are not deductible. Gifts received are not taxable to the person who received the gift, and are not entered on a tax return.

For the condo:
Go to Federal> Deductions and Credits> Your Home to enter mortgage interest, property taxes, and loan origination fees (“points”) that you paid in 2023. You should have a 1098 from your mortgage lender that shows this information. Lenders send these in January/early February.
