====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== Illinois--Tax Credit for Homeschools Dear HSLDA Members and Friends: If you homeschool in Illinois, you may be eligible for a state tax credit of up to $500 for homeschool education expenses. Naturally, there are rules that must be followed. But a very quick summary is that you may be eligible for a tax credit of 25% of what you spent above and beyond the first $250 for certain types of homeschool expenses. Check out http://www.revenue.state.il.us/Publications/Pubs/PUB-119.pdf for an explanation. Keep in mind that a tax credit isn't a government aid program. A tax credit simply allows you to keep more of your own money. "Voucher" programs often come with many strings attached, or soon produce strings. But tax credits are different. They do not create an opportunity for the government to control your homeschool program. Homeschoolers can confidently and safely use the tax credit to help their family finances. Governments tend to abolish programs that people do not take advantage of. By claiming a homeschool education tax credit as allowed under the rules, you send a message to lawmakers that this helpful program should continue. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -> How long are you in for? Some families are facing what seems like a lifelong commitment to homeschooling, with children at both ends of the spectrum -- some graduating and some just reaching school age. If you're going to be "in" for a while, consider a lifetime membership with HSLDA. It's a good deal for families with more than 10 years of homeschooling ahead.
