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.
In addition, for the deduction for education expenses, you must also claim an exemption for the child on your tax return. Contributions on behalf of a child to 529 plans, designed as education savings plans, are not deductible whether or not the child is your dependent.
