[北美] FORM 8917/ line 34 on 1040 tuition deduction

[anchoretic (Anchor)]

Hi,

I read pub 519 and 1040i..
An alien resident (GC) can claim a F1 spouse as dependent.
could I fill Form8917 to further deduct the adjusted gross income?
since  the F1 spouse just adjust status this year,
the tuition paid last year is based on non-resident standard
and no SSN is added on school's file, so we don't receive 1089T
we call 1-877-467-3821 to ask if they can issue 1089T for us
but not sure if we qualified to deduct tuition to save money.

Do we miss reading something? (pub or instruction)

Thank you.

→ cchris:所以你的配偶的學費當然可以抵稅;讀pub 970;叫學校寄1098-T
→ TripleC:原po的意思是今年結婚也可以報去年的稅是嗎？
→ cchris:原po文章並沒有說他何時結婚;有讀pub的話應該知道去年結婚
