Education

There is no longer an actual deduction for education expenses, but there are tax credits. An eligible educational institution, for education tax credits,  is a school offering higher education beyond high school. It is any college, university, trade school, or other post secondary educational institution eligible to participate in a student aid program run by the U.S. Department of Education.

This includes most accredited public, nonprofit and privately-owned–for-profit postsecondary institution.
