Generally, in order to claim the deduction for education expenses for a dependent, you must have paid the expenses in the current year and must claim the student as a dependent on your current year tax return. You must reduce your qualified education expenses by any qualified education expenses used to figure the exclusion from gross income of any distribution from a qualified tuition program/529 plan (QTP). For a QTP, this applies only to the amount of tax-free earnings that were distributed, not to the recovery of contributions to the program.
