Can I attach a receipt from the school that is not printed on the department’s form, Receipt for Qualified K-12 Education Expenses, to my return for the K-12 Education Expense Credit?
Yes. We will accept a receipt for qualified education expenses received from the school if it contains all information required by law in order to claim the credit. The following information must be provided on the receipt:
- the calendar year (January through December) during which you paid the education expenses;
- the name and address of the school;
- the name and address of the parent or legal guardian;
- the name and Social Security number of each qualifying student;
- the total education expenses paid for each student for tuition, book fees and lab fees during the calendar year.
If the receipt does not contain all the information required, you should contact the school for a proper receipt.
