Homeschool Tax Deductions and Credits in Oklahoma
Yes. Oklahoma's Parental Choice Tax Credit includes up to $1,000 a year per eligible homeschooled student for qualified expenses, claimed on Form 591-D with your state income tax return.
How the homeschool credit works
The Oklahoma Tax Commission runs the credit. You file a separate Form 591-D for each student with your Form 511 or 511-NR return and attach legible copies of every receipt; a stand-alone 591-D is not processed. Homeschoolers do not use the private school application window.
Four kinds of expenses qualify: tuition and fees for nonpublic online or in-person learning programs; academic tutoring; textbooks, curriculum, and other instructional materials; and fees for nationally standardized tests, including college admission and Advanced Placement exams, and courses that prepare for them.
Internet access, computers, tablets, and other devices do not qualify, and neither do equipment for sports, dance, music, or other elective lessons, memberships, or field trips. A qualified expense can be claimed only once.
Who qualifies
Eligible student
The student lives in Oklahoma and is at least 4 by September 1 of the year claimed.
Not enrolled in school
You attest that the student was not enrolled in a public or private school for two semesters that year.
Applying and paying
First step
Keep every receipt for qualifying purchases during the year, since the return needs copies of all of them.
What you still pay
Spending beyond $1,000 per student, and items that do not qualify, are the family's cost.
When to apply or file
The claim goes in with the return for the year the expenses were paid, by that return's due date.
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.
$149/month per child after the trial.
Confirm current tax, scholarship, and ESA rules with the program before you rely on them.
