Homeschool Tax Deductions and Credits in Alaska
Alaska has no individual income tax, so there is no homeschool deduction or credit. Families who enroll in a district correspondence program can receive a yearly allotment for approved learning costs.
How correspondence allotments work
Alaska Statute 14.03.310 lets each correspondence program decide whether to give an allotment and how much, so no statewide figure exists.
Enrolling makes your child a public school student learning at home, under the program's individual learning plan. The allotment buys nonsectarian services and materials that the plan requires and the district approves. It cannot pay a family member, and any balance returns to the district if your child leaves the program.
Federal scholarship tax credit
Alaska has elected to join the federal scholarship tax credit beginning in tax year 2027. Approved scholarship granting organizations may start raising donations on January 1, 2027, and each sets its own scholarship amounts and rules.
Who qualifies
Independent homeschools
An independent homeschool, run outside any program, receives no state money.
What it pays for
Nonsectarian materials and services named in your child's individual learning plan and approved by the district.
Applying and paying
First step
Compare the correspondence programs that enroll students in your area, including each one's allotment and learning plan rules, before you enroll.
What you still pay
An independent homeschool family pays every cost itself. In a program, you pay whatever the allotment does not cover.
When to apply or file
Most programs enroll in spring and summer for the coming school year, and the allotment follows enrollment.
Teaching that takes the work off you
We teach every subject starting at your child's level, grade the work as it is submitted, and keep the attendance, grades, and transcript, so homeschooling asks less of your time.
