Q. Can any tuition paid first 3 months of 2025 be counted towards educ expense on 2024 taxes?
A. No. Any payment made in 2025 can only be counted on the 2025 tax return.
You may be confusing that with a rule that allows you to claim, on your 2024 tax return, payments made in 2024, for tuition and other expenses for the first 3 months of 2025.
