Unless your child attended the preK so that you could work, you cannot deduct anything.

Yes that is why she is in school

EDUCATION EXPENSES

Education expenses for grades K-12 are not deductible on your Federal return, whether for private, public, or home schooling, nor are the expenses for tutoring, after school lessons or after school activities, such as dance lessons, sports, etc.  Some states allow deductions/credits for K-12 education and/or home schooling expenses; if your state has these deductions available, you will be prompted to enter them when you prepare your state return.  (As far as I know, the states that offer any sort of K-12 deductions/credits are Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,Louisiana, Minnesota, and Wisconsin)

Well that stinks

Sorry.  Unless your child was in preK so that you could work, the cost does not qualify for the child and dependent care credit.

If your child is in preK so you can work, then go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>You and Your Family>Child and Dependent Care Credit
