<prompt> Human: I go to a community college part time and the total cost of my classes was something like 900 but since my parents divorced make so little money and have a lot of children in school I receive enough financial aid to cover the cost plus some. Can I still claim that money I owed for classes on my tax return as school expenses? Also, do I need receipts for books that would be covered under school expenses?Ohhh and also, my job requires me to wear scrubs that I pay for out of pocket. Do I have to somehow provide proof of purchase for work related expenses?  <response>: You can only claim the amount that you actually paid out of pocket.
