In general, homeschool expenses are not tax deductible and are not shown anywhere on the federal income tax return.

Kim, Individual homeschools (i.e. your family) do not register a DBA name, like a business. A homeschool family is not a business. This blog post is directed to homeschool organizations, not a family.
You may need to notify your local school that you are homeschooling so your children are not truant, but you do not register as a business.
