form 2441

[imjulier]

Just looking for opinions/knowledge on this. Is pre-school tuition an allowed expense for form 2441? Instructions to form say they are qualifying if the iotems are incidental to the care of the child and can't be seperated from the cost of caring for your child. It goes on to say that schooling for a child in kindergarten or above are not qualifying expenses. Client could have had child in daycare but opted for pre-school instead. Any issues with using this as a form 2441 expense? I'm thinking of using it but just want other opinions.

Thanks,

Julie

As long as it's below Kindergarten, then the educational component is not so big as to rule out its being child care. It's April, enough research, just take it!
