Hi. I'm a full-time teacher that took 15 graduate credit hours of courses through Advancement Courses to move up the salary schedule. In my state Advancement Courses partnered with Greenville University, who then issued my transcript when I was finished.
1. Can I claim the cost on my taxes for the courses since I paid out of pocket?
2. If so, how? Does it fall under the $250 teacher expenses or does it qualify under expenses and scholarships? I am confused because my receipts from Advancement Courses say they do not provide a 1098-T form, but that I should keep my registration receipts for tax purposes.
At first, I went under expenses and scholarships and since I technically paid Advancement Courses and not Greenville University, I wasn't sure if I should continue. Since this is not a degree, I am just taking individual classes to further training, I didn't know what to select. Also, I don't know if I select half-time or less than half-time student.
Thank you for any help.
