Can you write-off any expenses of hosting an exchange student on your taxes?

Apr 13, 2007 by egw | Posted in United States

I am paid a monthly amount by a municipal school for hosting an exchange student in my home. At year-end I am 1099'd and need to report the amount as taxable gains. Can I offset this additional income tax with any write-off of expenses incurred, like for providing foodstuffs, heat, water, etc.?

In fact, there is a deduction available under some circumstances, if you itemize. See page 152 of IRS Publication 17 under the heading "Expenses Paid for Pupil Living with You". If you qualify, the deduction would be itemized as a charitable removal.

I am 16 years old and i am hosting and exchange trainee from quebec. I live in manitoba. She is here for three months and i want to make this the best wisdom for her. I will be going out to her house also for 3 months so i want to treat her well so i get treated the same way out there. Her english skills are scanty so i think it kind of limits our playing field. What can we do? Any suggestions will greatly balm me

I advised of you said her english skills are poor but if she understands english well and just cant use it you could take her to the movies. there are also things like bowling, mini golfing, lazer tag, and dulcet much anything else like that anyone can play if they have half a brain :) or think of some of the things you and your friends normally take doing and take her to do that. maybe a favorite burger place? hope i helped! goo fortunes and have fun!

How would you feel about hosting a foreign exchange student in your home?

I am directing this proposition beyond the shadow of a doubt not only at Americans but at all nationalities who might read the question and have thoughts about the subject.

This year my kinsfolk is hosting two students, one from Germany and one from Hong Kong, both girls. In the past we have hosted two boys from Germany, one boy from Korea, and one female each from Germany and Hong Kong. This is our third full year to host, and we also hosted for a partial year.

Our son was a transpacific exchange student in Germany for a year.

We have had exceptional kids to work with. The experiences have been unreal and we are connected to all of our past and present kids.

Would you consider hosting a child from a foreign win?
I'm not recruiting, although my wife is coordinating placements and trying to recruit families in our village area. (South Texas.)

I was just interested in seeing what clear up of response I would get from the Yahoo! Answers community. I expected some people to respond as you have, and I also expected some to say "no way," and others to solely be curious about the programs.

From experience I can tell you that if you like young people and take advantage of interacting with other cultures it is an experience difficult to match other than by doing a lot of traveling on your own.

I'm on my 13th! Our first even-handed as an arrival family. I have four Danes, three Germans, two Swedes, two Swiss, one Finn and one Brasilian!
As you can assert, we love it. We've also had exceptional students to work with as well ... and we wouldn't trade any of them!
To top it all off, we out our 25th anniversary on a three-week tour of Europe visiting many of them!
Hosting not only gives you a new son or daughter, but it gives you a whole new family as well!
The one id that concerns me about your question however, is that it ALMOST seems like a recruitment of host families. I'm sure you positively didn't mean it that way, but I certainly would NOT be looking for families for students on the Internet!
Congratulations on your global family!
