    Tuition Deductible on Taxes?
    Hi,

    I am filing married jointly and my wife lives overseas for the time being.

    Can I deduct her tuition expenses for university that she attends outside the US on my US tax return?

    Please advise.

    Yes, you can, provided you can prove the expense with receipts from the University that she is attending.
