Families could get a tax credit of up to $200 for school supplies.

Families could get a tax credit of up to $200 each year for elementary and secondary school supplies like books and equipment. This new credit would help parents with school costs, though it would be reduced for higher-income families and would start for the 2027 tax year.

What Would Change

Today, families do not receive a specific federal tax credit for elementary and secondary school supply expenses. If this bill becomes law, families could claim a tax credit of up to $200 each year for eligible school supplies like books and equipment, starting with the 2027 tax year. This credit would be reduced for higher-income families.

Key Provisions

Caps the tax credit at $200 per family each year.

Blocks families from claiming this credit for school supply expenses if they already use a Coverdell Education Savings Account for those same costs.
