Tax Deduction

[videogamesrock]

You need to go about this a little differently. Get a letter from your employer that says they encourage you to take courses for your profession.

You may be able to deduct work-related education expenses paid during the year as an itemized deduction on Form 1040, Schedule A (PDF), Itemized Deductions. To be deductible, your expenses must be for education that (1) maintains or improves your job skills or (2) that your employer or a law requires to keep your salary, status, or job. However, even if the education meets either of these tests, the education can't be part of a program that will qualify you for a new trade or business or that you need to meet the minimal educational requirements of your trade or business.

The other option is for business owners to have the business pay for it as training expense and write it off as a misc expense.
