Q. Can I claim the plane expenses for getting to the school ?
A. No. Travel is not a Qualified Educational Expense (QEE).
Q. When it comes to Education-related deductions and credits does that count for paying for language school abroad?
A. Probably not. First the school would have to be an eligible institution (on the DOE student loan list). Second, the course would have to be part of the degree program.
Enter your school at the link below, to see if it's on the dept. of education list.
