For federal income tax purposes, you cannot deduct homeschooling or K-12 education expenses as an education deduction. The education credits are for higher education (college). 

 

Some states offer a credit for K-12 education expenses. Check with your states Department of Revenue to see if there are any tax breaks for homeschooling or private schools. However, these expenses may only be deductible if you claim the children as dependents.
