Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit at a glance

• Overseen by / administered by: The Oklahoma Legislature, under the Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit Act (70 O.S. 28-101; HB 1934 of 2023, amended in 2024, 2025 and 2026). The Oklahoma Tax Commission runs it: homeschool families claim the credit on their Oklahoma income tax return; private school families apply in OkTAP.
• Homeschool credit, tax year 2026: Up to
  ,000 per eligible homeschool student for qualified expenses paid in calendar 2026 (100% of expenses, up to

  ,000). Refundable. Claimed on the 2026 Oklahoma return (Form 511 or 511-NR) with a separate Form 591-D for each student and legible copies of all receipts. Expenses over

  ,000 can't be carried to another year. The law says the credit is not Oklahoma taxable income.
• Who can claim the homeschool credit: An Oklahoma taxpayer — parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, legal guardian, custodian or other person with legal authority — who pays qualified expenses for a student who lives in Oklahoma, is at least 4 by September 1, and is taught at home under the "other means of education" exception. Students enrolled in a virtual charter school are public school students and don't count. No expenses from a semester when the student was enrolled in a public or private school.
• Statewide homeschool cap: For tax year 2026 and later, homeschool credits are capped at $5 million a year statewide. If claims would go over, the OTC must publish a reduction percentage ($5 million divided by the credits claimed two tax years earlier). Claims reported by the OTC: $3,588,881 on 2,716 returns for tax year 2024, and $4,475,649 on 4,001 returns for tax year 2025 (preliminary, Sept 3, 2026).
