Does anyone know if a taxpayer can use $4000 of his education costs for the deduction on the front page of the 1040 and deduct what is left over on schedule A?

Yes, if the education expense was incurred to maintain and improve his skills in his present job. If the education was for a new trade, the answer is no.
