Homeschool Tax Deductions and Credits in Wyoming
Wyoming has no state income tax, so there is no homeschool deduction or credit. Its education savings account pays $7,000 a year, but a child taught at home with that money becomes an ESA student, not a homeschooler.
How the ESA works
The Steamboat Legacy Scholarship Act, W.S. 21-2-901 through 21-2-909, created the education savings account (ESA) that the Wyoming Department of Education runs. It is open to Wyoming residents aged 4 through grade 12 who are not enrolled in a public school, for approved costs such as curriculum, tutoring, educational technology, and therapies.
A child taught at home with ESA funds is not part of a home-based educational program under state law. The signed ESA agreement requires a yearly notice to your district, instruction in the seven required subjects, and the statewide assessments or a nationally normed achievement exam.
A lawsuit filed in June 2025 challenges how the program is funded. The Wyoming Supreme Court lifted a lower court's injunction, so payments continue while the case proceeds.
Who qualifies
Not in public school
Enrolling full time in a public school suspends payments, and the department may close the account.
Applying and paying
First step
Read the ESA agreement's testing and notice rules before applying, since signing it ends your home-based program.
What you still pay
Families who keep a home-based program pay their own costs.
When to apply or file
Applications for 2026-27 closed August 6, 2026, so the next chance to apply is the 2027-28 window.
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.
