Education credits

[gkaiseril]

Client and wife both took a notary signing online class to become notary signing agents.
Client in 2005 and wife in 2006.

The online course was about $250. I can use that for the lifetime learning credit, can't I?

Finished the return last night but this morning thought about the credit for the classes.

Getting a little punchy right about now. Too much to do before March 15th.

Not an accredited school for student loans = no Life Time Learing Credit.

Not in business or notary, not licensed as a notary = no deduction of course as job related expense since needed to get license.

They get nothing period.

Thanks

for all your answers.

This has proved to be a very interesting thread.

So since I am a notary, if I took a course to be a signing agent, I could write off the expense on my Schedule C. But no education credits for any of it.

That's the way I see it.
