Re: private school and uniforms

I'm not aware of any federal tax deduction you can claim for costs associated with sending your children to private schools. Perhaps there is a deduction allowed by your state.

If you children are under the age of 13, and you pay for an after-school program so you can work, those costs could be counted as dependent care expenses, which could provide you with a tax break.

And if you have money in an Education Savings Account, you can withdraw money tax-free for private school tuition.
