I have an extension for my 2018 income tax return. Has the above-the-line deduction for tuition and fees been extended?
The deduction from gross income (no itemizing required) for tuition and fees expired at the end of 2017. However, there is still some hope that it may be extended retroactively for 2018. And there is some talk that it will also be extended for 2019. If so, information will appear on jklasser.com.

Itemized deductions
Items, such as interest, state and local income and sales taxes, charitable contributions, and medical deductions, claimed on Schedule A of Form 1040. Itemized deductions are subtracted from adjusted gross income to arrive at taxable income. The amount of itemized deductions is also subject to a reduction when adjusted gross income exceeds certain limits.
