Lets Pell Grant money be fully tax-free for students, no matter how they use it.
This bill would make Federal Pell Grants completely tax-free for students, regardless of how they spend the money. It would also let students claim more in other education tax credits. This means more financial help for many students starting in 2026.
Today, only the part of a Pell Grant used for tuition and fees is tax-free, and the grant can reduce other education tax credits. If this bill passes, all Pell Grant money would be tax-free, and it would not reduce the amount students can claim for other education tax credits.
