Funding Amount & Source
Ohio provides a tax credit of up to $1,000 for families with a total annual household income of less than $50,000 for tuition paid for one or more dependents to attend a non-chartered private school. For families with a total annual household income which equals or exceeds $50,000, the tax credit is worth up to $1,500. Moreover, because the tax credit is nonrefundable, lower-income families receive smaller credits, and those families that do not have a tax liability are unable to benefit at all. _(Last updated August 1, 2024)_
