Non-college (elementary and middle school) tuition and fees at a private institution - can those qualify for any deductions?

[toocomplexforme]

I see the forms and products for deducting expenses related to post-secondary education but not for primary and middle grades.  Just curious if there is any way to apply a deduction or credit with that.

No.   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)
