CCS Tuition & Fees Question?

<p>Please help...The form asks:
Estimate the amount of the tuition & fees deduction your parents will claim in 2013..,</p>

<p>Can I claim SAT Prep classes & SAT Test fees & AP Test Fees under this on my taxes??</p>

<p>Doing the profile now and it's due Dec. 1 for ED Syracuse.
Thank you for your help!</p>

<p>No you can’t. The expenses allowed for the tax credits and deductions are expenses for attending college, not for applying to college.</p>

<p>annoyingdad is correct (as usual). </p>

<p>The education tax credits are for qualified education expenses (basically tuition and fees and sometimes books) for students that are in college. SAT & AP related fees do not qualify.</p>

<p>Once your kiddo is in college, you may qualify for some education tax benefits.</p>

<p>Thank you for your quick responses!</p>

<p>I understand what your saying…but then the next question is:</p>

<p>Question PE-13A
…total elementary, jr high, HS, tuition your parents paid in 2013…</p>

<p>Can I put the SAT prep class & test fees there? or that is only for private school tuition etc? </p>

<p>if not…can I put it anywhere? </p>

<p>Thank you again! I appreciate the help, I’ve never done anything like this before, it’s kinda scary or I guess I should say overwhelming…all these questions!</p>

<p>I believe that is for private school tuition only.</p>

<p>The ‘bible’ for federal education tax regulations/benefits is IRS Pub 970. Take advantage of what you can when the time comes:</p>

<p>No you cannot put the SAT prep course cost anywhere on the Profile.</p>
