No, there is no deduction on your federal tax return for homeschool due to covid lockdowns or closures. However, some states allow a deduction for homeschooling. Check with your state to see if they allow a deduction for homeschooling.

You may use link Taxes–States–Departments of Revenue Links to find contact information for your state tax department

EDUCATION EXPENSES

Education expenses for grades K-12 are not deductible on your Federal return, whether for private, public, or home schooling, nor are the expenses for tutoring, after school lessons or after school activities, such as dance lessons, sports, etc. Some states allow deductions/credits for K-12 education and/or home schooling expenses; if your state has these deductions available, you will be prompted to enter them when you prepare your state return. (As far as I know, the states that offer any sort of K-12 deductions/credits are Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,Louisiana, Minnesota, and Wisconsin)
