Per my husband's teaching contract at a private Christian school, we are required to send our child to a Christian school.  Because of that written requirement, can we deduct any of the tuition we have to pay?

    The cost of private or public school  (K-12) doesn't qualify for any education deductions or credits on your federal return.

     

    A few states allow deductions for K-12 education and/or home schooling expenses.  If your state is one of them, we'll ask you about it when we get to your state return.
