Federal Scholarship Tax Credit (Education Freedom Tax Credit) - Colorado participation
Program doesn’t say whether homeschoolers qualify From official sources October 7, 2026 Not open yet
Not settled yet. Colorado's announcements focus on public school students and do not mention homeschooling; IRS guidance defines covered expenses by reference to a public, private or religious school and does not address homeschooling.
Dates and status: Colorado notified the IRS it will participate for tax year 2027 and is on the IRS list (as of Sept 14, 2026). The Department of Revenue will compile the state scholarship organization list and is waiting for further IRS guidance; the governor's office said Colorado will submit its list ahead of January 1, 2027 (federal rules allow 2027 lists until February 15, 2027).

Colorado has no state ESA, voucher, tax-credit scholarship, or K-12 education tax credit for families. The Colorado Department of Education says there is no public funding available for homeschool; its homeschool pages describe homeschool law and district part-time programs, which provide instruction rather than money to families. Local scholarships, tax deductions or district programs may still exist; tell us if you know of one.
