If as you say wife has paid tuition fees, ask her to claim it as part of Sec 80C

Dear Friend,

The IT department cannot determine whose money has been spent on tuition fees. The only thing you can do is ask the employee to submit the bills as proof of payment.

If the employee's wife is also employed, she must also account for any excess salary beyond the ceiling in the IT returns.

Well, IT exemption under section 80C can be claimed as long as you have the TF receipt for your child with your name in place of the father's name. The exemption can only be claimed by one of the spouses, either the mother or the father.

What is your exact problem? Do you wish both of you should get tax exemption under Sec. 80C for the same amount? Go ahead. If any inquiry from the Tax Authority arises in the future, face it.

Now, if your query is because your spouse has paid the Tuition Fees for your children but is not falling under the taxable limit, and you feel that you are just missing the opportunity to claim the tax benefit through your income. In that case, transfer the full amount of Tuition Fees to your spouse's account on or before 31st March 2018 and claim the benefit. You can make this transaction by cash withdrawal also and obtain her signature for the money receipt, which will be genuine.

Then IT department may ask the wife source of income for making tuition fee payment. How much is the amount involved?

Dear Friend,

The children belong to parents (husband & wife). The husband can avail the benefit granted under IT if the wife is not a taxpayer. If both are taxpayers, then either of them can claim the children's tuition fees.

Prabhat, Tax benefit can be claimed only by person incurring the expenditure.
