Deductions & credits

Agreed with @xmasbaby0. Unfortunately, you can't deduct education expenses for private religious schools like an Islamic center on your federal taxes. These deductions are typically for higher education at schools on the eligible higher education institutions list by the Department of Education. However, as noted, some states offer credits for private school tuition. 

 

Additionally, If your children are under 13 and the Islamic center provides after-school care, some of those costs may qualify for the Child and Dependent Care Credit go to page 2.
