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.
