Having a child is expensive, and most of the costs are not tax deductible. Paying for pre-K can qualify for a tax break, but paying for private kindergarten or a private elementary school never does. If you qualify, you get your tax break not as a deduction, but rather as a child-care tax credit.
Child Care Expenses. If your child is under 13 and the private school offers before-and after-school care, you may claim the child care tax credit for your expenses, limited to a maximum of $3,000 per child.ou can even deduct some of the cost of a private kindergarten if you pay separate fees for an educational component and a child care component. Remember that this is a credit, not a deduction -- you deduct it directly from your tax bill, not your taxable income.
