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.
Kindergarten Expenses. Unfortunately, expenses paid for a child to attend kindergarten or a higher grade do not count toward the child and dependent care credit. Only expenses paid to a day care, preschool or nursery school qualify.If you pay expenses for before-or after-school care for your kindergartener or child care on days the child does not have school, the expenses do count.f you are married, the only expenses that count toward the credit are those paid while you and your spouse both work or look for work, unless your spouse is a full-time student or cannot care for herself.
