Unless Dad has a "get out of jail free" card, he won't.

Subject: [kl] deducting lessons $ for a child

Here's a good one.... I got a call from a future student's parent to sign
her up for lessons. Upon calling them back, the dad tells me that he wants
to deduct the cost of the lessons (for 12 yr old) on his income tax, under
child care! I said to him that it is not possible to deduct the expense,
and I wouldn't go along with it. I explained that even my University
students can't deduct the expense. The guy persisted, saying that if I
claim the income, I have nothing to worry about. I don't buy that. Seems to
me like an invitation to trouble.
