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.
When you pay the post-secondary school costs, even for a high school student, the school sends you a Form 1098-T at the end of the year that shows how much you paid. When you file your taxes, you have to use either Form 1040 or Form 1040A. To claim the tuition and fees deduction, you have to use Form 8917.or example, if your child enrolls in a biology course at the local college as part of an early-entry program while he's still in high school, you could use the tuition that you pay to the college for the deduction. The deduction is limited to $4,000 per year.
