The cost
of private or public school (Kindrgarten-12th grade) 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.
