My sons attend an out of district public school, which required us to pay $1000 tuition. I do not receive a 1098 for that. Can I deduct it somewhere?

No, Education expenses for grades K-12 can never be deducted on a federal tax return. However, Some states allow deductions 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 Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,Louisiana, Minnesota, and Wisconsin)
