====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== Virginia--Calls Needed Now to Help Pass $2,000 Tax Credit Savings for Homeschoolers! Dear HSLDA Members and Friends: How would you like to save up to $2,000 on your state income taxes each year for your homeschool expenses? Or, how would you like to have scholarships available to homeschoolers for their educational costs? If either of these sounds like a good idea, take a moment to put a call or email in January 24 or early January 25 to the members of Virginia House Finance Subcommittee 3. The subcommittee will meet tomorrow, January 25 at 7:30 a.m. We urge you to call and email to support House Bill 1164 and House Bill 420. House Bill 1164 was introduced by Delegate Christopher B. Saxman to provide a tax credit to homeschool, private school, and public school students in the form of a scholarship for tuition, books, and educational fees. The bill will allow nonprofit 501(c)3 organizations to establish scholarships for any and all students. Anyone who gives to the 501(c)3 organization for a scholarship for the homeschooler can obtain a tax credit. The scholarships are available for any homeschooler whose parents make up to $90,000 per year. House Bill 420 was introduced by Delegate Robert G. Marshall. This bill would provide a tax credit for qualifying educational expenses for homeschool families, as well as public and private elementary and secondary school families. Homeschooling families would be able to claim a credit amount of up to $2,000 for instructional fees, tutoring fees, and money spent on textbooks, workbooks, and curricula. It is important that you contact representatives of House Finance Subcommittee 3 this evening and early tomorrow morning. It is our hope that the House Finance Committee will pass these tax credit bills. You may view the bills at: H.B. 1164: http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=4676 H.B. 420: http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=4677 ACTION Please call and give the following message to members of House Finance Subcommittee 3: "We are parents of school-age children who need tax relief.

HSLDA Staff Attorney ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -> "I saved my entire membership fee with one discount" "When I called Liberty to find out what kind of discount we could get, they told us we would 10% off our car insurance and 5% off our homeowner's insurance. What we will save is more than double what it costs to join HSLDA. With one child getting his driver's license this year, the savings will be a real blessing!"
