Bob A. Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Hello, We have a child attending a full time boarding school in the US, is there a tax deduction for that as do see a that there is an option for boarding school available. Just wanted to know if attending high school in the US is eligible? If so what do we need from the school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
