    No.   Travel is not a qualified education expense.  Sorry, airfare to study abroad is not deductible.

    No, that is NOT considered an education expense.

      Can I deduct ANY expenses or fees that I have paid directly to the overseas university for her study abroad program? They do not have a US tax ID.

      To see if a school is eligible to take education credits

       

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