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.

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.

This Article examines the tax law's subsidies for inequality and segregation in primary and secondary education, analyzing the federal charitable deduction and education savings plans, and state tax credits for education. It argues that the tax system diverts funds from traditional public education into private education, fostering economic, racial, religious, and political separation. The tax law also operates to increase resource inequality within public education by subsidizing schools that affluent children attend. In a novel analysis, the article contends that the jurisprudence around the charitable deduction for education -- though longstanding -- is legally incoherent, and argues that no deduction should ever be allowed for parental payments to schools their children attend, whether designated as tuition or gifts. Although the tax law cannot fully solve the problems plaguing primary and secondary education, it is important to recognize the ways that benefits delivered through the tax law encourage and subsidize segregation and stratification in childhood education, along multiple dimensions -- socioeconomic, racial, political, and religious. Tax benefits operate to delegate substantial control over childhood education to private organizations and individuals, undermining the civic role of public education. Along with many other areas of the law, the tax law could better promote democratic values in education.
