I am seeing a lot of conflicting news about whether the Tuition & Fees Deduction is allowed.

Several sites seem to indicate that it's back for 2019, and it's even retroactively allowed for 2018, so we can go back and amend 2018 returns if the T&F would have helped.

But the IRS site says pretty clearly, and I quote: "The tuition and fees deduction is not available for tax years after 2017."

Can someone provide something on the IRS site that shows that this is wrong? Why is there conflicting news on this?

Also, does anyone have any word on what Oregon is going to do about this? (In 2017 and before, since Oregon had no education credits, they allowed a subtraction equivalent to the T&F deduction a taxpayer would have taken if they didn't get the AOC or LLC, which was awesome, but when the T&F went away, that meant there was no Oregon education benefit. Will Oregon be allowing a retroactive T&F benefit?)
