Can I claim school related purchases? I am in school to be a massage therapist, and I bought a massage table.

In order to claim business expenses (such as a massage table), you must be carrying on an income earning activity.  If you are still in school and not carrying on a "business", then you will not be able to claim any expenses for tax purposes.
