A Republican-backed bill in South Carolina would offer tax credits as high as $1,000 per child to parents who homeschool their children.
Sponsored by a group of 21 Republican lawmakers, the Senate Bill 933 is currently being considered in the state Senate Finance Committee. The one-page legislation defines âhome schoolâ as âa home, residence, or location where a parent or legal guardian teaches one or more children.â
If the bill is passed as is, starting with the 2022-2023 school year, parents or legal guardians who teach one or more school-aged children at home will be able to claim an income tax credit equal to the total cost of any home school association and curriculum fees, or up to $1,000, for each child attending a home school.
