My son's tuition is paid for, but there is several other fees listed on the bill from the college such as building maintenance, lab fees, tutoring fees, and other fees that I had to pay that wasn't covered by tuition.  Can I deduct these fees such as the tutoring fees and building maintenance?  If he purchased the books from the book store can I claim them?  He had 1200 dollars in book fees (going for Physics).  I didn't claim these fees on last years taxes because I didn't think I could.  However, I learned I can claim everything except housing, food, and non essential fees.  Can I file an amendment to my 2014 taxes?  I did in turbo tax and it changed my return from $1000.00 to $2500.00.  I thought it might be too late to claim these expenses.
