Increased Financial Support for Education and School Choice

This act expands the use of 529 savings accounts for education, including elementary, secondary, and homeschooling expenses. It increases the withdrawal limit from these accounts and introduces new gift tax exclusions for contributions. Additionally, the act links access to tax-exempt state bonds with the implementation of school choice programs.
Key points
More 529 funds for K-12 and homeschooling: You can now use funds for tuition, materials, tutoring, and therapies for students with disabilities.
Higher withdrawal limit from 529 plans: The annual limit for K-12 expenses from 529 plans increases from $10,000 to $20,000.
New gift tax exclusions for 529 contributions: You can contribute more to education savings accounts without incurring gift tax.
Support for school choice programs: States implementing school choice programs (e.g., vouchers, tax credits) will have easier access to favorable bonds, potentially encouraging more such programs.
