School fees and bus fees

$50-$500/yr

Can You Write Off School Fees and Bus Fees?

Short answer: No: public school fees and bus passes aren't deductible.

Starting in 2026, 529 plans can pay many K-12 costs beyond tuition.

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.
