Hi,

I am currently holding H1B visa and my wife is holding H4-dependent visa. I have spent couple of hundred dollars for her physical theraphy license exam.

The exam includes - Educational Credential Evaluation, Exam Fee, Exam Class Fee, NYSED Application verification etc [all put together around 1400$].

Can I claim taxes on the above item.

Thank You!

Yes in Canada you can claim as an educational expense

How about in US / New York ?

And by the way, we are filing jointly!

No, you cannot deduct these expenses.

Licensing costs for employees to qualify for their profession are NOT deductible.
