Lets AmeriCorps members avoid federal taxes on their education awards and student loan payments.
This bill would let AmeriCorps members keep more of their education awards by making them tax-free. Currently, these awards are taxed as income, even when used to pay off student loans. If passed, this change would apply to awards received for tax years after the bill becomes law.
Today, AmeriCorps members generally have to pay federal income tax on their educational awards, even if they use them to pay off student loans. If this bill becomes law, these awards would be completely tax-free, meaning members would keep the full value of their awards for education or loan repayment.
