Yesterday, the U.S. Treasury released the first official guidance for the Education Freedom Tax Credit Scholarship Program, giving states and scholarship organizations a clearer picture of what comes next! Here are a few of the biggest takeaways: Families won’t face a marriage penalty. Married couples filing jointly may each claim the full $1,700 tax credit, meaning a family could potentially direct up to $3,400 toward scholarships supporting educational opportunities for children. States now have a clearer path to participation. The new guidance gives governors a framework for joining the program and gives Scholarship Granting Organizations, including organizations like ACE Scholarships, a roadmap for preparing to serve families in participating states. Transparency is built into the program. Treasury outlined requirements for record keeping, reporting, and compliance intended to maintain accountability and give donors, taxpayers, and families confidence in how the program operates. Together, these initial rules establish an important framework for implementation and give states and scholarship organizations a clearer direction as they prepare for what’s ahead. There is more information to come, follow us to stay up to date as we watch the mission of Federal SSO come into clearer view. #SchoolChoice #EFTC #StudentScholarships #NationalStudentAdvocacy #SGO

Congress has officially passed landmark federal tax credit legislation, beginning in 2027, that allows individuals to receive a dollar-for-dollar federal income tax credit for contributions made to Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs or SSOs) — including Georgia SSO. This exciting federal program closely resembles Georgia’s own Qualified Education Expense (QEE) Tax Credit but operates at the national level, expanding opportunity for families across the country. Georgia SSO (now Federal SSO) will serve as a leading advocate, resource, and administrator of this program, and we will share timely updates as the U.S. Treasury finalizes implementation details ahead of the program’s launch on January 1, 2027. We are SO excited to be an advocate for students to be able to choose a school that best aligns with their needs. Every child deserves access to an education that meets their unique needs. Even by doing something as simple as following our account and spreading the word, you can be a part of the mission. 💙📚 #schoolchoice #schoolchoiceweek #taxcredit #scholarshipopportunities #FTCS

What is a federal tax credit AND how does it work? 🤔 Let’s break it down. ⬇️ A federal tax credit directly reduces the amount of federal income tax you owe — dollar for dollar. That means it’s not just a deduction… it’s a full credit applied to your tax liability. When you contribute to a qualified Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) or Student Scholarship Organization (SSO), you may be eligible to receive a 100% non-refundable federal tax credit for your contribution. That means: • You support student scholarships 📚 • You may reduce your federal tax liability 💰 • You can combine this with eligible state tax credits for even greater impact Same mission. Expanded impact. More students served. 💡 Stay tuned for contribution limits and how to participate. #FederalTaxCredit #SchoolChoice #EducationFreedom #StudentScholarships #TaxSmartGiving
