If they show it as income on your W2, or a 1099G, they you can take the deduction. Otherwise no. You can take deduction for mileage, books etc.

If the funds the military pay for your education are taxable income, than the money you spend for your education may be deductable. If the money from the government does not count as taxable income, you will get in trouble deducting it.
Consult the IRS anonymously for details.

You can't write off anything you're reimbursed for. If they only pay for part of it, you can take the part that you actually pay without reimbursement, subject to the irs rules for education expenses.

Nope - invariably you are allowed only to write off things you pay for and are not reimbursed on. Note that I did NOT say that you definitely get to write something off just because you paid it - that's rather a different story.

No... you didn't pay for it. You can only write off what you actually paid for

Sure, if you can claim the offsetting costs and prove the funds were provided by you through your own banking group.

Of course not. It wasn't your money, it was mine.
