Can You Write Off Mileage to School?
Short answer: No: driving to your own classes isn't deductible for students, and the old work-related education deduction for employees is suspended.
Self-employed people can deduct driving from work to a class that maintains skills for their current business.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
