The Idaho Parental Choice Tax Credit program that the Legislature recently enacted in House Bill 93, gives some parents the ability to choose educational services that meet the needs of their individual children.

The new refundable tax credit program provides nearly $50 million in state funds to help full-time Idaho residents pay for eligible nonpublic school expenses. It’s available for Idaho K–12 students ages 5 to 18, as well as Idaho students ages 5 to 21 who have a qualifying disability and require ancillary personnel. The Idaho State Tax Commission will administer the program.
