How much can a Tulsa homeschool family get?
As much as $1,000 a student per tax year, refundable, and claimed on the state return covering the year you paid.
Which costs qualify?
Fees and tuition for private online programs, tutors or tutoring centers, textbooks and curriculum with required supplements, and standardized test fees and prep courses, including college-admission and AP exams.
Which costs are excluded?
The rules name internet access and out-of-state field trips as non-qualifying, and a shared cost such as one online subscription for two children counts once.
How do hybrid programs fit?
When the hybrid is itself an accredited private school and enrolls your child, the Parental Choice Tax Credit is the one to use; otherwise ask the program how its parents have filed and check the Tax Commission's school file.
