College Tax Deduction
Wednesday, August 10th, 2011
There have been some new additions to the list of deductions you can take if you have paid college tuition. Starting out this year you can deduct up to $4,000.00 dollars of tuition paid. This is the maximum amount that can be claimed annually. The amount does not change based on family size or how many individuals in the family are currently enrolled in college.
Of course there are some requirements that must be met:
- If you are married, you must file jointly. You are ineligible for this deduction if you are married and file separately.
- If you are single your adjusted gross income must be below $65,000.00 to qualify for the whole amount. Your College deduction will be reduced as your income exceeds this amount
