    • Manual de crédito fiscal por elección de los padres de Oklahoma
  • Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit Act

    The Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit provides parents of students in private school a refundable tax credit ranging from a minimum of $5,000 up to a maximum of $7,500 per child to cover the cost of private school tuition and fees, or parents of students in home school a refundable tax credit of $1,000 to cover the cost of unbundled educational expenses. 

    Beginning in tax year 2024, a refundable income tax credit is allowed for certain Oklahoma taxpayers who pay, or expect to pay, tuition and fees to an eligible private school on behalf of an eligible student. An eligible taxpayer is someone who is subject to the tax laws of the state of Oklahoma, and who is a biological or adoptive parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, legal guardian, custodian or other person with legal authority to act on behalf of the eligible student.

  • Frequently Asked Questions

    In the case of having multiple eligible students in one household, the taxpayer may receive the tax credit for each eligible student. For example, if the federal AGI of the household where the students reside is less than $75,000, the taxpayer may qualify for up to $7,500 per year per eligible student.

  • Preguntas frecuentes sobre el crédito fiscal por elección de los padres

    ¿Qué es el crédito fiscal por elección de los padres?
    A partir del año fiscal 2024, se permite un crédito reembolsable del impuesto sobre la renta para ciertos contribuyentes de Oklahoma que pagan, o esperan pagar, la matrícula y las cuotas a una escuela privada elegible en nombre de un estudiante elegible. Un contribuyente elegible es alguien que está sujeto a las leyes fiscales del estado de Oklahoma, y que es padre biológico o adoptivo, abuelo, tía, tío, tutor legal, custodio u otra persona con autoridad legal para actuar en nombre del estudiante elegible.

    ¿Cuándo se abre el periódo de inscripción?

    ¿Cuál es el límite para el crédito fiscal para escuelas privadas?
    Para el año fiscal 2024, la OTC no puede autorizar más de $150 millones de créditos fiscales. Para el año fiscal 2025, la OTC no puede autorizar más de 200 millones de dólares de créditos fiscales. Para el ejercicio fiscal 2026 y siguientes, la OTC no puede autorizar más de 250 millones de dólares de créditos fiscales.

    ¿Cuál es el importe del crédito fiscal al que puede optar una persona?
    El importe máximo del crédito viene determinado por el total del Ingreso Bruto Ajustado federal del hogar del estudiante durante el segundo ejercicio fiscal anterior. Los hogares con un AGI de $0-$75,000 pueden recibir $7,500; los hogares con un AGI de $75,001-$150,000 pueden recibir $7,000; los hogares con un AGI de $150,001-$225,000 pueden recibir $6,500; los hogares con un AGI de $225,001-$250,000 pueden recibir $6,000 y los hogares con un AGI de $250,001 y más pueden recibir $5,000.

    ¿Qué ocurre si una persona tiene más de un hijo con derecho al crédito?
    En caso de tener varios estudiantes que reúnan los requisitos en un mismo hogar, el contribuyente podrá recibir el crédito fiscal por cada estudiante que reúna los requisitos. Por ejemplo, si el AGI federal del hogar donde residen los estudiantes es inferior a $75,000, el contribuyente puede optar a un máximo de $7,500 anuales por cada estudiante que reúna los requisitos. No obstante, es importante tener en cuenta que debe cumplimentarse y presentarse una solicitud distinta por cada estudiante que reúna los requisitos para cada ejercicio fiscal.

    Si alguien es el abuelo del estudiante, está pagando la colegiatura de la escuela privada del estudiante en 2024, y el estudiante nunca ha vivido con ellos, ¿están obligados a proporcionar una copia de su declaración de impuestos o la declaración de impuestos del hogar donde vive el estudiante?
    Debe proporcionar una copia de la declaración de impuestos de Oklahoma o de la declaración federal de impuestos del segundo año fiscal anterior del hogar donde reside el estudiante.
