You're missing the most obvious solution: tax the kids! 😕
I'm sure your position would flip 180 degrees when you have kids...
Financial institutions are the slowest in getting their forms to you. Grr.... :|

The deduction isn't for education expenses....it's for the expense of feeding, clothing, insuring the health of the child, etc.... Taxing people and taking more and more of their $ is not going to solve education or any other problem. The way to solve those issues is through fiscal responsibility, which is something most if not all governments have none of. It has been proven time and again that you cannot tax a country into prosperity. Government officials need to learn to spend wisely and remember that the money they are spending belongs to THE PEOPLE and there is not an endless supply of it.
Also, there should be a cost of living deduction for those of us living in the bay area for example.
Like if making 70K in Silicon Valley is equivalent to making 45K in Austin, so I think I should be taxed at the rate that someone making 45K in Austin would be, because that's my purchasing power.
Also, how much does H&R block cost?

If you don't like it, Move to Russia
It's ironic that we spent 45 years defending the Europeans from the Russian commies, and now the Europeans are bigger commies than the Russians.
And BTW, the tax rate is 13%. It's good not to have superpower aspirations anymore.

You have to remember that people without children don't normally incur the same kinds of expenses that people with children do. The deduction for people with children is not for education expenses, it is for various expenses such as health care, food, clothing, day care, etc, etc, etc.... If you don't have children you aren't having to pay out that extra expense and therefore don't qualify for the same deductions. Do you think the government should give out deductions to every taxpayer for their day to day living expenses? I don't, that's nearly the same thing as Welfare. I don't however have a problem doing it for people with children because unless they are very wealthy they need the break. I don't have kids myself, at least that I know of, but have several friends who do and even though they make what most would consider a good living they still struggle to pay all their expenses now that they have children. Giving them a tax break is the right thing to do.
I want my W-2s! Tele-File, here I come!
IMO, if you're doing it right, you should either be getting a small refund or have to make a small payment. If it's more then a few hundred either way, you need to adjust your deductions. But of course, life happens. It can be pretty hard to judge from one year to the next with constant change (jobs, families, lifestyles, tax laws, etc.)

Wow....just got my confirmation email for my Federal return being accepted by the IRS.....according to the email my refund should be in my savings account within 48-72 hours. That's damn fast......I'm impressed. No, I didn't do one of that rip off refund anticipation loans....this will be my actual refund. Woo hoo!!
