Dependent Care Credit
Posted on 4/5/17 at 10:42 am

Can private school tuition be claimed on federal tax return as a dependent Care provider? or is that for daycare/babysitter type services?
Thanks
Thanks

Expenses for overnight summer camps, kindergarten, and first grade (or higher) don't qualify for the Child and Dependent Care credit. However, expenses for before- and/or after-school care of a child in kindergarten or higher grade can be considered child care.

Note very, very carefully that the answer you provided involves pre-school tuition.
K-12 private school tuition can not be used for child and dependent care credit. However, before and after care costs can be, even if it's for a private school.
LA does offer a $5,000 per child deduction on state taxes (not credit) for private school tuition, uniforms, and fees.

Based on the link above I did not claim the credit as it was for private school K tuition. I do not have after school costs that I could use.
I did take advantage of the state deduction.
