Loss of tax breaks for scholarships
This bill would repeal two federal tax rules that benefit Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs) and their donors. If you donated to an SGO, you would lose the federal tax credit for those contributions for tax years ending after December 31, 2026. If you or your child received SGO money, amounts received after December 31, 2026 in taxable years ending after that date would no longer be excluded from gross income. The bill would also remove related entries and references in tax code tables.
