The Credit Parents Bill
Oklahoma bill offers tax credit for parents choosing schools
Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit Act; prescribing procedure for enforcement of annual limit. Effective date.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would let parents claim a state tax credit when they pay for private school tuition, up to a yearly limit.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Families could save money on school costs, but the credit reduces state revenue, meaning other taxpayers may shoulder the cost; watch the debate now.
