In January 2008, Dish Network was spun off from its former parent company EchoStar, which was founded by Charlie Ergen as a satellite television equipment distributor in 1980.
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.
Keep in mind that this is a credit, not a deduction, so it lowers your tax bill dollar for dollar. Does the cost of kindergarten count toward the credit? No. The cost of kindergarten and higher grades is considered to be an educational expense, not a child-care expense, so it doesn't qualify for the child-care credit.he cost of day care, preschool, before-and after-school care, day camp, or a nanny or other babysitter can count toward the credit.
