Education

No, there is no deduction for that.

If the courses were taken at a recognized college or vocational school (educational institutions eligible to participate in the student aid programs administered by the Department of Education),  you may, instead,  be able to take the Lifetime Learning Credit (but not the American Opportunity credit).

 

Enter your school at the link below, to see if it's on the dept. of education list.

Rule of thumb: if you have to ask, your school is not an eligible institution.

Schools that only offer online courses usually do not qualify.  Online classes taken at schools that also have  classroom instruction usually do count.
