	I was wondering if anyone has updated information on the requirements to be able to deduct CPL training from one's personal income taxes.
 


	I found another topic with info from 2004, but these things tend to change a bit. The consensus there was you need to attend a registered school and the PPL portion is only deductible after you've achieved your CPL license, which makes me wonder how that would go if training takes multiple years for example.
