Idaho Parental Choice Tax Credit

What is the Idaho Parental Choice Tax Credit?

The Idaho Parental Choice Tax Credit (HB 93) is a refundable Idaho state income tax credit that helps families with K–12 education costs for students not enrolled in public school. Families may receive up to $5,000 per eligible student, or $7,500 if the student has a qualifying disability. Parents may also apply for advance payments to cover upcoming education expenses. Learn more: My School Choice website.

Who’s Eligible?

Parent(s) and students must be full-time Idaho residents in 2024 and 2025.
Parents must file a 2024 Idaho Individual Income Tax Return (Form 40).
Parents will be able to access applications for reimbursement for expenses incurred in 2025
- Applications open on January 15, 2026:
- All income levels can apply with priority given to families at or below 300% of the Federal Poverty Level.
- Claims will be approved on a first-come, first-served basis for qualified families, so early preparation is key.
- Students must attend a nonpublic (private/Catholic) school offering core academics.

We encourage all our Idaho Catholic school families to explore this opportunity and apply.
