The rules for deducting MBA expenses are very gray and the deduction is often audited by the IRS. If you are considering taking the deduction you should seek the assistance of a experienced tax professional. I'd stay clear of sites like Fileit.tax. They twist the IRS language to make it appear it's easy to deduct and that most people qualify. There are many court cases out there where taxpayers lost for deducting their MBA expenses.

 

If you're in your 20s IRAs are pretty much BS because Congress can (and likely will) change the rules on you retroactively. You've got a 30-40-year window where the Feds could possibly retroactively change the rules on you, so to me I think there are better things you can do with your money, especially when talking about the Roth IRA. Although this comment is almost entirely unrelated to the topic at hand.
