Homeschool Tax Deductions and Credits in Massachusetts

No. Massachusetts has no state tax credit, deduction, or education savings account for homeschool costs, and an approved home education plan brings no public money for curriculum or materials.

What exists instead

Massachusetts approves home education through each district's superintendent or school committee. Approval lets your child learn at home, but the district does not pay for the materials you use.

The one state program that pays toward a homeschooler's coursework is the Commonwealth Dual Enrollment Partnership (CDEP). It covers college courses at participating public campuses for high school students, including homeschoolers, and does not give a general curriculum allowance.

A district may also let homeschoolers join some of its own courses, programs, or activities. That choice is local, and the state education department does not review it.

Who qualifies

  1. No state benefit

    No Massachusetts 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 look at CDEP for high school college courses.

  2. What you still pay

    Families pay every homeschool cost themselves.
