Can I claim my son tutoring expenses I paid to Sylvan Learning Center?

[mickeymichelle32]

if so where do I claim it?

That expense is not deductible unless it is to treat a diagnosed medical condition documented by a medical provider.

Does a diagnosis of autism count and if so, can you tell me what form or sheet I need to complete to claim for sylvan tuition?

If the tutoring. Is primarily for education, then no. If it is part of a treatment program documented by physician, then yes. But it would be a medical expense which would only help you if you itemize. And only an amount of total medical expenses greater than 7.5 percent of your AGI can be deducted.
