EDU credit

In 2017 I was living in Luxembourg, Europe. I attended a school online located in Canada. I am now living in the US. Can I claim a credit for tuitions or supplies paid?

No. Unfortunately, there is no credit if the school is a foreign school.

 

The IRS website defines qualified higher education expenses as:

"Tuition, fees, books, supplies, and equipment required for the enrollment or attendance of a student at an eligible educational institution. They also include expenses for special needs services incurred by or for special needs students in connection with their enrollment or attendance. In addition, if the individual is at least a half-time student, room and board are qualified higher education expenses."

The IRS defines an eligible educational institution as "any college, university, vocational school, or other post-secondary educational institution eligible to participate in the student aid programs administered by the U.S. Department of Education.
