Does App Academy send a 1098-T? Or, in other words, can I file App Academy as an educational expense on my taxes?

Students are unable to claim the education tax deductions because App Academy is not yet accredited by the U.S. Department of Education.

There is, however, a business expense deduction that can be taken by students who were already working in the field of computer programming: http://www.irs.gov/publications/p970/ch12.html#en_US_2013_publink1000178645

It is important to note that the work-related education deduction (see IRS website) must be taken as a business deduction. This means that students will not be able to deduct the expenses from their personal income (W-2's) unless the education is required by their employer. Students can take the deduction as a business expense if they earn self-employment income (1099's, K-1's) and paid the education expenses in the same year. The payments are recorded on cash-basis, so students would only deduct the tuition that was paid in the recent tax year, not the entire tuition balance.
