What is a qualified educational expense?
A qualified educational expense generally refers to tuition, books, fees, or other costs associated with qualified elementary, secondary, or post-secondary education expenses. In order to determine whether or not an expense is considered a qualified educational expense, we highly recommend you seek the counsel of a professional tax advisor and the educational institute.
