Ho do I deduct my daughters private middle school tuition?

[laurenfeeley]

I am paying private tuition for my daughter to go to middle school, we took an early withdrawal from my husbands IRA for it, but its not considered 'higher' education right?  How do I deduct it and what do I need to do so.  We did not receive any tax forms from the school.

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)
