Student Common Deductions and Tax Credits for Students

 

The most common deductions that apply to students are moving expenses and child care expenses.

 

Moving Expenses

 

You can deduct moving expenses if you move to attend courses as a full-time student or if you moved to start a new job, including summer employment, or to start a business. Your new home must be at least 40 kilometers closer to the new school or place of work than the previous home. Moving expenses can only be deducted against awards, employment or self-employment income.
