Private school tuition

[Marketstar]

The cost of private or public school (K-12) doesn't qualify for any education deductions or credits on your federal return.

If your child attends a daycare program before or after school, whether at a public or private school or is enrolled in pre-kindergarten, you may qualify for a child care credit.  Also, some private school tuition for special needs students may be eligible for a medical deduction.

A few states allow deductions for K-12 education and/or home schooling expenses.  If your state is one of them, we'll ask you about it when we get to your state return.
