TUITION QUESTION

[AnnieR]

I know this is going to sound stupid, but....client brought in a receipt for an enrollment agreement and tuition fee paid of $1395 for modeling school for her 11 year old daughter. I really don't believe an education credit is available but she seems to think she can write this off "somewhere"...Just when you think you've heard it all!

Only if the modeling school is an accredited institution, eligible for federal aid. Or, of course, if the daughter is now making lots of money she might be able to take this as a business expense against her self-employment income as a model.

I could construct a scenario wherein daughter is (and has been) a professional model thereby qualifying the tuition as a continuing education expense....

It is highly unlikely, although not impossible, that this is not postsecondary education. Has this 11 year old graduated from high school? If not, she most likely does not qualify for any of the education credits.
