Если книги покупаются по месту обучения (колледж, университет), их списывать можно. Если в другом месте - нет.[/quote:7403ac2eb6]
Приведите мне публикацию где сказано что можно списывать стоимость книг.
У меня в книге написано нельзя списывать, у IRS написано нельзя-но может есть где публикацию,где написано что можно?[/quote:7403ac2eb6]
Ну давайте разбираться, мне уже и самой интересно.


Вот что говорит 2002 Publication 17, page 238.
Generally the credits are allowed for qualified tuition an related expenses paid for an academic period beginning at the same year as the year the payment is made (but see Prepaid expenses, later)
In general, qualified tuition and related expenses are tuition and fees required for enrollment or attendance at an eligible educational institution. Student-activity fees and fees for course-related books, supplies, and equipment are included in qualified tuition and related expenses o n l y i f the fees must be payed t o t h e i n s t i t u t i o n as a condition of enrollment or attendance.

Expenses that do not qualify.
- Insurance
- Medical expenses (including student health fees)
- Room and board
- Transportation, or
- Similar personal, living or family expenses
This is true even if the fee must be paid to the institutionas a condition of enrollment or attendance.
