Homeschool Tax Deductions and Credits in Oregon

No. Oregon has no homeschool tax credit or deduction, no education savings account, and no state funding for homeschooling families, and the family pays the whole cost of the required tests.

What families pay for

The Oregon Department of Education answers the question directly: there is no money for homeschooling families to help with materials or testing.

Oregon requires homeschooled children to take a state-approved test in certain grades. The family pays for the test itself, the tester, and the scoring, and approved testers set their own rates.

For a graduate, the main state aid is the Oregon Promise grant, which helps pay community college tuition and counts finishing 12th grade as a homeschooler the same as a diploma.

Who qualifies

  1. School taxes

    Families cannot redirect their school taxes away from public schools, the department says, so homeschooling does not change what you pay.

Applying and paying

  1. First step

    Plan your homeschool budget, including the required tests, without a state offset.

  2. What you still pay

    Families pay every homeschool cost themselves, including testing.
