Can I Write Off Kids' Sports?
Short answer: No, youth sports fees, travel teams, and equipment are personal expenses.
Only care-focused day programs that let you work count toward the dependent care credit.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
