While many families take advantage of the standard college tax deductions available, many do not take the medical tax deduction for educational expenses. Because Landmark College is exclusively for students who have been diagnosed with a learning disability, parents may be eligible for a medical tax deduction for tuition, fees, and additional costs like books, computers, transportation, and other education-related expenses. IRS publications 907 and 502 offer information about medical expenses.
We recommend you consult with your tax advisor about these options.
