Donald Trump has pledged to expand his former Trump tax cut education savings account plan (which allowed up to $10,000 dollars a year tax-free on tuition for grades K-12) to the homeschooling community.
Trump first outlined his previous tax incentives for school choice.
“When I am reelected I will do everything I can to support parents who make the courageous choice of homeschool. Under the Trump tax cuts, we allowed families to use 529 education savings accounts to spend up to $10,000 a year tax-free on tuition for grades K-12. This was a tremendous win for school choice, very important, school choice. Remember that term? And yet that benefit did not apply to homeschoolers,” Trump said in a recent video.
The GOP candidate then outlined his new initiative, bringing the school choice tax incentives to homeschooling.
“So to support the growing homeschool movement, in my next term I will immediately fight to allow homeschool parents the same incredible benefit, $10,000 dollars a year per child, completely tax-free to spend on costs associated with homeschool education. I will also work to ensure that every homeschool family is entitled to full access to the benefits avaliable to non-homeschool students, including participating in athletic programs, clubs, after-school activities, education trips and more,” Trump said in a recent video.

“To every homeschool family, I will be your champion. Do not vote Democrat, they are looking to destroy you,” Trump said in the video.
Notably, homeschooling families must currently pay for the costs of educating their children, the lost wages incurred in doing so and perhaps most egregiously, still pay property taxes to the local government school system, a tax even those without children are forced to pay.
“In fact, homeschool numbers across the United States have exploded since the COVID pandemic, which pushed schools to do online classes and that allowed parents all of a sudden to see the leftist ideologies actually being pushed in the classrooms of their local public schools. Multiple fights erupted, including when schools demanded the authority to control what was in the room in the family’s home where online classes were watched,” World Net Daily said Friday.
