Can Professional Certifications be written off in taxes?
There are a number  of federal tax deductions and credits available for education expenses.  They are too numerous to describe here, but the place to get full details is IRS Pub 970.  Note that many, but not all, of them require that you be enrolled in a degree program; since this does not seem to be the case for you, you would not be eligible for those programs. None of them is as simple / generous as "deduct the full amount of your tuition with no limits".  Also note that there are restrictions on using more than one of these deductions or credits in any given tax year. You might pay special attention to Chapter 12, "Business Deduction for Work-Related Education".  In particular, this program allows you to deduct transportation expenses under some conditions, which does not seem to be the case for the other programs.  But also note carefully the restrictions.  In particular, "Education that is part of a program of study that will qualify you for a new trade or business is not qualifying work-related education."  So if you are not already working in the field of IT, you may not be eligible for this deduction.
