Hi ATE,
First of all, thank you for taking time in providing solutions for tax related issues.
Here is my situation and question:
I am filing resident 1040 MFJ return. In 2005, I have paid $12000 to a university for my MBA course. My employer reimbursed me $3000 out of the $12000.
I am claiming $4000 Tuition and fee deduction under line 34 of the 1040 form (this is the better option based on my income).
Can I claim the remaining $5000 as un-reimbursed job expenses in Schedule A?

Once again, thanks for your help.

Yes, you can, if the MBA will enhance your current work skills. I did something very similar for a client last year; got her a nice refund she was NOT expecting.

Thank you ATE. It's very helpful.

Glad to help!
