There is a certain amount you can write off, as well as equipment, transportation etc. Make a quick call to the IRS, believe it or not, they are VERY helpful.

You can write off tuition only if you were required by your employer to go to school. If the decision was your, it is not tax deductible.

Trade school, if classes are taken toward a degree or employment certification, are deductible as an education expense on your tax return. Do expect to have to justify what certificate you are earning.
