We are excited about the Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit Act that Governor Stitt signed into law.  We agree that putting educational funds into the hands of parents so that they can make the best choices for their children is the best way to fund education in Oklahoma.

While many of the details have not yet been determined, we do know the following:

• This is a refundable tax credit.  Funds will be paid to parents to use for educational tuition and fees.
• The amount you receive per child is based on your household income:
  • $7500 for below $75,000
  • $7000 for $75,000 – $150,000
  • $6500 for $150,000 – $225,000
  • $6000 for $225,000 – $250,000
  • $5000 for over $250,000
  • This begins in the 2024 tax year.
• ·There is a cap on distributed funds each year, with preference given to families with lower incomes.
  • $150 million in 2024
  • $200 million in 2025
