    Education Expense as Miscellaneous Deduction
    I am an F1 Visa holder (from India) and I had 2 W2s - one from my University and the other from my internship employer.

    I am filing 1040NR for the year. Since I cannot claim education/tuition fee credits, can I claim the education expense as an itemized deduction?

    Thanks!
