| Can law review course be used for lifetime credit? I know it cannot be used as a 2106 expense.

| Not unless expenses are being paid to an "eligible educational institutions" i.e. an accredited college, university, vocational school, or other postsecondary institution. The institution must be eligible to participate in student aid programs administered by the DOE. I expect under certain circumstances it could be an allowable deduction on 2106.

| never allowable on 2106. Is a preparation for a new career. Nondeductible. Ok for credit if through an accredited college.

| I guess I don't know what 'law review' means, but wouldn't be CLE on a 2106 for a lawyer?

| I assume that "law review course" in this context means a bar exam prep class.

| I wouldn't make that assumption Posting. Law review courses are, in common parlance, courses where the student receives credit for working on law review, the student-edited journals of the legal profession. Typically, bar prep courses are referred to as such or by their names, e.g. MicroMash, PMBR, or Bar/Bri.

| I would think that a bar prep course would be deductible in some circumstances -- for example, a lawyer licensed in one state looking to add another.
