Are after school enrichment classes deductible?

[CrackerJacks]

My child participates in several afterschool enrichment classes each week while I am working at home with the DCK. Is the $ spent on these classes deductible under the Childcare Tax Credit?

Child care tax credit

The answer is "yes" as long as you meet all the other requirements for the child care tax credit (age of child, dependency, etc.).

Paying someone to care for your own child while you are working can be eligible for this credit.

Thank you Tom! What about $ spent on the school lunch program?

No, this would not be considered "child care"
