The Tuition and Fees Deduction expired at the end of 2014, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t be available in 2015. The Tuition and Fees Deduction has a judicial practice of disappearing and reappearing throughout the years. It first appeared in 2002 as part of the Economic and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, where it was put in place through the end of 2005. Then, in 2006, the Tax Relief and Health Care Act extended the benefit for tax years 2006 and 2007, and so began the tradition. Various bills brought the deduction back for 2 years at a time, and even last tax year we saw another extension for the year with the Tax Increase Prevention Act.
