“Having never sent children to private schools, is that a tax deductible expense?”
No, unless the school is in some way closely intertwined with the Church (~”parish school”). Even that totally justified tax relief is quickly closing.
Nor do I receive a tax credit for monies paid in support of the local public school district.
Additionally, programs provided to the public schools (such as the useless DARE program), have been pulled from our Catholic school.
