What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Education, Achievement, and Opportunity Act," proposes to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It would establish a new refundable tax credit for individuals to cover qualified education expenses for each qualifying child. These expenses include tuition and certain other costs for students attending public or private elementary or secondary schools. The credit is subject to a maximum of $10,000 per child. Additionally, the amount of the credit may be reduced based on the taxpayer's modified adjusted gross income.
