Can You Write Off Tutoring for Kids?
Short answer: No federal deduction, but K-12 tutoring is now a qualified 529 expense starting in 2026.
Tutoring for a diagnosed learning disability recommended by a doctor can be a medical expense.
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.
