Homeschool Tax Deductions and Credits in Kansas

No. Kansas has no homeschool funding program, tax credit, or deduction, and its tax credit scholarships pay only toward accredited nonpublic schools, so homeschool students cannot receive them.

Why the scholarship excludes homeschools

The Tax Credit for Low Income Students Scholarship program pays up to $8,000 a school year toward a qualified school. K.S.A. 72-4352 defines a qualified school as a nonpublic school accredited by the state board or a national or regional accrediting agency.

A registered Kansas homeschool is a nonaccredited private school, so its students fall outside that definition. Registration itself costs nothing, and the state does not approve or fund the school it registers.

Kansas districts must let any child enroll part time in their courses, which is a way to use a public class without paying for it.

Who qualifies

  1. No state benefit

    No Kansas tax break or account pays for homeschooling, at any income.

Applying and paying

  1. First step

    Plan your homeschool budget without a state offset, and ask your district which of its courses your child could take part time.

  2. What you still pay

    Families pay every homeschool cost themselves.

Teaching that takes the work off you
