It depends. In order to
be deductible, your expenses must be for education that (1) maintains or
improves your job skills
in your current job or (2) is required by your employer or by law to keep
your salary, status or job. However, even if the education meets either of
these tests, the education
cannot be part
of a program that will
qualify you for a new trade or business, or is
needed to meet the minimal educational requirements of your trade or business.
You indicate that this was to start your real estate investing business, so it would appear that these expenses aren't deductible. But if you were already in business, and took these classes to improve your skills, this would be deductible as a business expense, which you can report using TurboTax Self-Employed.
