Federal Scholarship Tax Credit (Educational Choice for Children Act) - state opt-in
Program doesn’t say whether homeschoolers qualify From official sources October 7, 2026
Federal law ties eligible expenses to "qualified elementary or secondary education" expenses under section 530(b)(3)(A) of the tax code, and the IRS and Treasury say guidance clarifying which expenses and schools qualify is still coming. Official sources do not yet say whether homeschool expenses qualify.
Dates and status: Michigan is not on the IRS list of states that made an advance election to participate for 2027 (list as of September 14, 2026), so scholarships through this federal program are not currently available to Michigan families. No official Michigan opt-in or opt-out decision was found on state government websites; a participating state must give Treasury its list of scholarship organizations by January 1 each year (for 2027, by February 15, 2027). The Michigan Department of Education reported on August 28, 2026 that the State Board of Education passed a resolution opposing Michigan's participation.

Michigan has no state education savings account, voucher, tax-credit scholarship, K-12 education tax credit, or state payment for homeschool families. The Department of Education says there are no public funds available for home schooling; home-schooled students may take nonessential elective classes at their resident public school, subject to district policy. Local scholarships, tax deductions or district programs may still exist; tell us if you know of one.
