Big Changes for MBA’s in 2018

Prior to the 2018 tax year, you could deduct your qualified MBA expenses as an itemized deduction for work-related education. Beginning with the 2018 tax year, you can no longer deduct the cost of your MBA tuition and course related material as an itemized deduction. Please note that if you did not deduct your MBA expenses in 2017 or in prior years, you can still amend your tax return to claim the deduction. You have 3 years from the due date of your original tax return, or when your original return was filed (whichever comes later), to amend your return. Learn more if your MBA expenses are tax deductible for work related education.

For 2018, you may be eligible to deduct some of your MBA expenses by taking advantage of the Lifetime Learning Credit or the Tuition and Feed Deduction. The Lifetime Learning Credit allows you to take a maximum tax credit of up to $2,000 (20% of the first $10,000 of tuition and required fees). Tax credits are much more attractive than deductions since they provide a dollar-for dollar reduction of your income tax liability. This means that a $2,000 tax credit saves you $2,000 in taxes. On the other hand, tax deductions just lower your taxable income and the savings is equal to the deduction multiplied by your marginal tax bracket. To qualify for the Lifetime Learning Credit your income must be $67,000 or less (or $134,000 if married filing joint). Alternatively, you could utilize the Tuition and Fees Deduction of up to $4,000. To qualify for the Tuition & Fees Deduction, your 2018 income must be $80,000 or less (or $160,000 if married filing joint).
