anyone know if you can claim test fees on taxes?

As a former state tax collector I will just add the following advice :

"ignorance of the tax law is not a defense"

"even if you pay someone to prepare your return, ultimately any tax and penalties owed because of an audit are your responsibility, not your prepares/ Accountants"...so it is wise to
learn about these credits if your preparer/Accountant has you claim the education credits on your return.

Peace,

I am now confused why you asked what plan my accountant advised if you already knew the answer? I was simply answering a question about claiming school expenses...this is not a forum for taxes. What you are saying is common sense that I would imagine everyone who itemizes returns already knows. And for the record my accountant does not do anything illegal. Geez, how did this turn into an attack on me and my accountant.

OP, good luck to you. I will not comment on this thread again.

Good evening.
