Is the tuition for the Stanford Online CTEL/CLAD Program tax-deductible?
• Because the CLAD certificate (EL authorization) is a professional certificate that is required by the state for teachers of ELs in California, the IRS grants tax credit for the portion of the tuition charged in a particular tax year up to $2,000. The onus is on the student to provide documentation of payment to the IRS, but the university will provide students with form 1098-T, as required by the IRS. To find out the exact percentage of the tuition which is tax-deductible, please consult your account or other tax preparation specialist.
