Can I deduct expenses for my elementary aged kids for things like their school supplies, computer, instrument, etc? If so, which category under deductions is it?

Would back to school fees also count?

Education expenses for grades K-12 are not deductible on a federal tax return.

Expenses allowed are state specific. For example, in LA, the back to school fees count, uniforms, school supplies but not an instrument or computer. What state are you in? Be warned, most states do not have deductions for kids expenses.
