EDUCATION TAX BENEFITS

EDUCATION TAX BENEFITS
As students across Illinois return to the classroom, Gov. J.B. Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Revenue are reminding parents and educators to take advantage of tax benefits available on their 2025 state income tax returns. The Illinois K-12 Education Expense Credit allows parents or legal guardians of full-time students to claim a 25% tax credit on qualified education expenses over $250. Teachers and other school workers can claim up to $500 in tax credits for out-of-pocket spending on classroom materials.
