Help Indiana families access the education their children deserve through the Indiana scholarship tax credit. Redirecting your tax dollars provides direct scholarship support for K-12 students.
State tax credit details
Indiana operates a comprehensive tax-credit scholarship program. Donors in Indiana can redirect any amount and receive a 50% state tax credit against their state tax liability (Document 2 = State Rankings).
Applicable federal rules
The federal Section 25F tax credit launches in 2027, allowing for an additional federal tax credit of up to $1,700 (Document 1 = Preview). The federal tax credit is reduced by the state tax credit claimed for the same redirect, preventing a double benefit.
