Education credit : international institutions

Feb 06, 2007 1 Replies

My spouse wants to go for a Msc. degree through an university in U.K. Is it possible to get any kind of tax exemption for this kind of education expenses done by US residents ? Can the Education credit (Lifetime learning credit) be used for distance education taken in international institutions ?

Probably not. I doubt it's an "eligible educational institution" as described in IRS Publication 970.
