I paid for the school, the room and board, and the drive to Az I covered all expenses. Can I write this off? I kept all the reciepts Ive never had to write anything of before. But Ive got about $9500 wrapped up in that license. So if I can write it off and get a bigger refund that would quite helpful. > [@My Turbo E30 thread, ABORTED. info on page 7, post 170.](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-turbo-e30-thread-aborted-info-on-page-7-post-170/38701/115): > > yes Well there is more to it than that. First, it depends on the certification that you were paying for, that will determine if you qualify. Also, if you do qualify, you can’t write off the entire amount. There are limits. You can get adjustments to your gross income for some of it, deductions for some of it (if you itemize), and there also two credits that you may qualify for (assuming you have not already used them), the Hope Learning Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit. Also, you won’t be able to deduct the room, board, and/or travel expenses to get there. If you want more info, just PM me, I am studying for my CPA and I just covered this area of the tax code. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-2008-tax-return-thread/201683)._
