I pay for a online homeschool for him $259 a month plus the registration fee of $569. Is that deductible under a medical expense since he has Autism?

Q. Is that deductible under a medical expense since he has a disability?

A. Yes.

But, medical deductions are only an itemized deduction. You only get to deduct that portion of you medical deductions that exceed 7.5% of your AGI. To get any benefit, the total of all your itemized deductions must also exceed your standard deduction ($14,600 Single, $29,200 Married filing jointly).
