    Can I claim Tax credit for paying wife's tution on H4
    Hello. I am on H1-b visa since last 2 years and my wife is on h-4. My wife went to school during 2006 and I paid the tution for her. I called up the university to get a 1098T form but the university denied as she is on H-4. So my question is whether I can claim her tution fees as a deductible while filing my taxes? Can you let me know.
    Thanks.
