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.
There might be a lot of benefits to sending your child to private school, but when you write that hefty tuition check every year, you could find yourself wondering whether those payments are tax deductible. Unfortunately, when it comes to your U.S. federal taxes, the short answer is no.
