I took 2 graduate classes in 2018 as I needed to renew my MD state teaching certificate. I tried to deduct the cost of these classes on my tax return but Tubo Tax stated that I was not eligible for an education deduction or credit possibly due to the following: my income exceeds the maximum limit or there were no net qualified education expenses. How can I find out exactly why I cannot get this tax credit? I thought classes that were used for a professional certification/continuing education as a teacher qualified for a tax deduction in Maryland.
