Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the university study expenses qualify as deductible professional further education costs for direct federal tax.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The expenses were non-deductible training costs, not deductible further education costs.
Extrahierte Begründung
The study went beyond maintaining the taxpayer's current function as a tax auditor and opened materially broader professional opportunities; part-time study and practical orientation did not change its character.
