Summary

What the bill does

This bill would give families a tax credit of up to $200 for money they spend on school supplies such as books, equipment, and other materials for their children in elementary or secondary school. The credit would be available to families with incomes up to $150,000, and it would phase out for higher incomes. The credit would apply to expenses for children in public, private, or religious schools.

Why it matters

The stakes

Families with school-age children could get a tax break to help with the cost of school supplies. This could affect how much families spend on education and how much tax revenue the government collects.
