I paid $3,995 in July of 2008 for my child's school tuition. I paid cash and have a reciept. Can I use it as a Tax Credits for this years 2009 taxes? If so, do I need anything from the school or will the reciept be good enough?
ANSWER
The BIDaWIZ Team's Answer:
If the payment was for 2009, the expenditure can be claimed on
your 2009 return. Conversely, if the expenditure was for 2008, the
expenditure needs to be claimed on your 2008 return. You may file
an amended 2008 return [Form 1040X], in this regard.
