Government subsidies for education are available at the federal, state, and local levels. Governments employ two types of direct spending programs to help families pay for higher education: subsidies to public postsecondary institutions and needbased aid to students and families. The Higher Education Act (HEA; most recently extended by P.L. 109-150), which is scheduled to expire in the 109th Congress, authorizes many need-based student aid programs, which provide grants, loans, and work-study assistance. In addition to these direct spending programs, government subsidies for higher education are also made through the income tax system. CRS Report RL32507, Higher Education Tax Credits: An Economic Analysis, by Pamela J. Jackson, provides a discussion of the economic rationale for subsidizing higher education. Tax benefits for higher education can be divided into three groups: incentives for current year higher education expenses, incentives that give preferential tax treatment of student loan expenses, and incentives for saving for college. This report discusses eight tax incentives that provide benefits to taxpayers for the expenditures they make on higher education in a given year. These provisions include two tax credits, the Hope Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit; two deductions, an abovethe-line deduction for tuition and fees, and a deduction for work-related education; three exclusions for scholarship and fellowship income, tuition reductions, and employer-provided education benefits; and a personal exemption for student dependents age 19 to 23. Tax benefits for student loan expenses allow the deduction of interest paid on student loans and provide an exclusion for student loans that have been forgiven. Five types of tax incentives promote taxpayer saving for college expenses: 1) Section 529 plans, 2) Coverdell Education Savings Accounts, 3) an education savings bond program, 4) a provision which allows early withdrawals from individual retirement accounts (IRAs) without penalty, and 5) the allowance of uniform transfers to minors. The recipients of benefits through the tax system can be quite different from the recipients of benefits provided through spending programs. First, because none of these provisions are available to families whose incomes are too low to pay income taxes, some low income individuals (including independent students) cannot benefit from them since none provide for refundability. Even those who pay income taxes may not receive the full benefit due to limited tax liability. By contrast, direct spending programs are often particularly directed toward lower income individuals who are more likely to attend (lower cost) public institutions and to qualify for needbased aid. This report provides an overview of the tax benefits for higher education, along with cost estimates of the revenue loss associated with these provisions. The report concludes with a discussion of the beneficiaries of education tax incentives. This report will not be updated.

Education tax credits were introduced as a new subsidy for higher education in 1997 and have cost, on average, $4.6 billion a year in lost tax revenue since their enactment. The introduction of the Hope Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit marked a dramatic increase in education spending through tax expenditures. Prior to 1997, tax incentives for higher education expenses totalled less than $2 billion in estimated lost revenue. The education tax credit program expanded the number of federal agencies involved in education policy making and increased the complexity and cost of administering the income tax system. This book provides analysis of the education tax credit program in the context of issues facing Congress in regard to higher education. This report begins with a review of the economic rationale for subsidising education, then describes federal subsidies for education in general and the education tax credits in particular. An analysis of the education credits follows and the report concludes with a discussion of education tax credit policy options. The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 established two permanent federal income tax credits, effective since tax year 1998, for qualified post secondary education expenses -- the Hope Scholarship credit and the Lifetime Learning credit. The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 created a temporary higher education tax deduction beginning in 2002. The Hope credit was introduced to help ensure that students have access to the first two years of undergraduate education. The Lifetime Learning credit and tuition and fees deduction provide support for students in any year of undergraduate and graduate study; they are unique in that they are available to individuals taking occasional courses. Only one of the three tax benefits may be taken in the same tax year for the same eligible student's qualified expenses. Key features of the credits and deduction dictate who the provisions benefit and the value of assistance they confer. Among these are the non-refundable nature of the credits (i.e., persons must have income tax liabilities and the liabilities must exceed the maximum amount of the credits in order to claim their full value), the deduction's availability whether or not taxpayers take itemised deductions, and the statutory limits on benefit amounts and on taxpayers' income. Accordingly, middle-and upper middle-income individuals are the targeted beneficiaries of these tax incentives. All three benefits apply to the tuition and fees required for enrolment that are not offset by grant aid (e.g. qualified scholarships) and other tax benefits (e.g. Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and Section 529 Plans). The Hope credit has had a maximum value of $1,500 per student since its inception; the Lifetime Learning credit, $2,000 per return since 2003.

Since 1997, education tax benefits have become an increasingly important component of federal higher education policy. Fourteen tax benefits are currently available for college students and their parents to help pay for higher education. The available tax benefits are a mixture of credits, deductions, exclusions, and other incentives. The benefits can be placed into one of three general categories: incentives for current year expenses, preferential tax treatment of student loans, and incentives for saving for college. This book provides an overview and contrast of higher education tax benefits with traditional student aid; a brief history of higher education tax policy over the past 60 years; a summary of key features of the available tax benefits; and an estimate of revenue losses resulting from individual tax provisions.

Many people in this country grow up dreaming about the college experience, leaving home and starting off in their own world, hoping to obtain the education and skills they need to be successful in life. With over 7,000 post-secondary institutions in the U.S. to choose from, selecting the best schools and finding the best way to pay for it can be a daunting task. The Higher Education Act of 1965 authorises numerous federal aid programs that provide support to both individuals pursuing a postsecondary education and institutions of higher education (IHEs). Chapter 1 provides a brief overview of the major provisions of the HEA. The federal government provides financial assistance to individuals for higher education expenses in two major ways: tax benefits and traditional student aid. Chapter 2 contains a brief overview of the higher education tax benefits that are currently available to students and their families. Chapter 3 provides insights into how prospective students make important decisions that affect their long-term academic and professional futures. An estimated 35 percent of college students transferred to a new school at least once from 2004 to 2009. Chapter 4 examines transfer rates and challenges students face in transferring credits, the possible financial implications of transfer, and the extent to which students are provided with transfer information to help them plan their college path.
