Private School Tuition and Tax Deductions

[R7ehr]

I'm in the middle of doing our 2023 taxes and despite generous charitable contributions, it doesn't look like we are going to reach the standard $27,700 deduction for married filing jointly. So for us, and I suspect the vast majority of taxpayers, it is a moot point.

Looks like this has changed for 2026. A couple can now take the standard deduction of $32,200 and if they make donations up to $2,000, they can deduct $34,200.
