Private school tuition for grades K-12 is not deductible on your federal tax return. You can claim child care expenses for after school care for credit for a child under age 13 if the care was required so that you (and your spouse) could work.

My school provided a Tax ID, but in the child care section of turbo tax, it only accepts an EIN number. The number my school gave me is not accepted in that field. I'm not sure what to do. The school doesn't seem to know either.
