Kindergarten school deductible?

In early 2022 I enrolled my daughter into a private kindergarten school due to thinking she would not get into a good public school. To my surprise she was accepted into a solid public school which she had accepted. Due to this I lost the kindergarten entrance fee and enrollment fee (it wasn't reimbursed to me). Could those tuition fees apply as a donation or write off against my 2022 taxes?

Any help would be appreciated!

Unfortunately, those expenses are not deductible.

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)
