Graduate school application fees

Can You Write Off Graduate School Application Fees?
Short answer: No: application fees aren't deductible and don't count for education credits.
Required enrollment fees after you're admitted can count.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
