Educator expenses

[Super Mom]

The Pub 17 I'm looking at says the educator expenses and student loan interest expired, as well a ttb says expiring 2014 for educator expenses. However, I saw a place that said I could take it with a pub date of 12/30/15. Can we take these?

They were extended so yes go ahead and file it with 2015 returns.

It's tax topic 458 that says I can take educator expenses. Pub date 12/30/15----so assuming is ok???????

Ok thanks--student loan interest is tax topic 456 date 12/30/15. Just confused by the conflicting material!!!!

ttb says expiring 2014 for educator expenses

As ATSMAN posted, the adjustment for educator expense is extended.

Click TTB Home for the Tax Extenders Bill- lower right on the page. It says the educator expense is made permanent and it'll be indexed for inflation too.

Might be a good opportunity to review the updates on the TTB web site dealing with the 2015 tax extenders bill. (12-23-15).

My thoughts exactly!

The emails TTB sends out have some very useful items. Some are free, others (ahem!) require your password to access. Having such updated information arriving on a fairly regular basis is a definite positive aspect of spending the coinage for the printed TTB products!
