A recent article from The 74, a nonprofit news organization covering America’s education system, highlights an encouraging trend in Oklahoma education: while statewide student performance has faced challenges, Oklahoma charter schools continue to deliver strong results for students. The analysis found that many Oklahoma charter schools outperform neighboring traditional public schools on student achievement measures, despite serving higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students and receiving less funding. These results reflect the dedication of educators, school leaders and families who are committed to expanding access to high-quality educational opportunities. As Oklahoma continues to focus on improving outcomes for all students, this recognition serves as an important reminder of what is possible when schools are empowered to innovate and meet the unique needs of their communities.

Welcome to Our Weekly Tax & Accounting Tips with Your Tax Partners US! A dollar-for-dollar Georgia credit many clients learn about after the annual cap is gone. The Qualified Education Expense Credit can turn a contribution into state tax savings, but only if you follow the preapproval sequence. If you feel this way you’re not alone. It’s a common area where people either overpay, under-plan, or just get overwhelmed. At Your Tax Partners US, we provide year-round tax planning for Georgia families and small businesses. Let’s break it down: ✅ 1. Contribute to a state-approved student scholarship organization only after receiving Georgia preapproval. Donate first and ask later, and the credit may be nothing. ✅ 2. Individual caps: $2,500 for single, head of household, or married filing separately; $5,000 for married filing jointly. ✅ 3. The credit is nonrefundable. Unused credit may carry forward for three subsequent years, but amounts beyond allowed limits cannot be claimed. ✅ 4. Pass-through/entity-level rules can limit the credit to the lesser of actual expenditures or 75% of Georgia income tax liability. Electing S-corporations and partnerships cannot pass it through. ✅ 5. Owners involved in multiple pass-through entities are capped at $25,000 total per year. ✅ 6. The 2026 statewide cap was fully preapproved early in the year, with no remaining initial capacity.

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.
