Yes you have to apply for it, but it's about $20k(about a 2/3 the cost per student) in DC. I know they do the same in Va and Md. No one talks about b/c they don't want everyone doing.

This is complete horseshit.

You must not be a homeschooler.

And you are not tellign the truth.

And you don't understand civics. Just because David Vitter proposes something doesn't make it the law.

Of the state laws cited on that Web site, the majority of those are for businesses that donate money to scholarship programs.

The Iowa benefit doesn't apply to homeschoolers; The Arizona one must involve donations to a 501(c)(3) organization; the Minnesota is similar to the Iowa one AND phases out after income exceeds $33,500; the Illinois Education Credit applies to any parent who buys textbooks or other education materials, including for students enrolled in public or private schools (so it's not some exclusive homeschooler benefit; Similarly, the Louisiana one isn't exclusive to homeschoolers at all -- any parent of any student can qualify.

So, it's really YOU who is ... shall we say ... misrepresenting the truth.

No state legislature anywhere in this country of ours has carved out a special tax benefit for homeschoolers. [/quote]
I got my check - $21,023. I was home schooling but now I am going to look at privates and keep the money(there is no follow up by the Gvernment!)  It's a great program.[/quote]
