HB 1469 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Schools; Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit Act; website requirements; effective date.

HB 1469 creates an income tax credit program for Oklahoma taxpayers covering qualified education expenses for eligible students. It directly affects parents, guardians, or legal custodians who pay for private school tuition or approved educational services (like tutoring, materials, or assessments) for children in Oklahoma. The credit amount varies by family income (ranging from $5,000 to $7,500 annually) and includes special provisions for schools serving homeless students or financially disadvantaged students (90% of enrollment below 250% of federal poverty level). The bill requires taxpayers to submit receipts to the Oklahoma Tax Commission and limits credits to expenses not covered by scholarships or discounts.
