Trump administration outlines rules for nationwide tax-credit scholarship program

The Trump administration has released proposed regulations for the Federal Tax Credit Scholarship program, which is scheduled to launch on January 1, 2027. The IRS estimates that the program could grow to $26bn annually by 2030, funded by 11m taxpayers, with 2m K-12 students potentially receiving scholarships worth $12,000 each for full-time private schooling. Another 5m students could receive scholarships for part-time private education, while 600 to 700 scholarship-granting organizations could participate. Taxpayers will receive dollar-for-dollar federal tax credits for qualifying donations, capped at $1,700 for individuals and $3,400 for married couples filing jointly. Families earning up to 300% of their area’s median income can qualify, although students must live in participating states. As of October 1, 31 states had opted in or were on track to participate. Several significant questions remain unresolved, including which expenses scholarships can cover, the extent to which public school and home-school students can participate, and protections against discrimination. The proposed regulations would also limit states’ ability to impose additional requirements on scholarship organizations. Participating organizations will be responsible for preventing fraud and ensuring funds cover legitimate expenses, and they will be required to undergo annual third-party audits.
