To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to establish a temporary tax credit for eligible teachers who provide tutoring services, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill creates a temporary tax credit for eligible teachers who provide tutoring services outside of school hours. Teachers who are certified and employed at preschools, elementary schools, or secondary schools and provide at least 150 hours of tutoring in mathematics, reading/writing, or science during a tax year are eligible for a base credit of $500 plus an additional supplemental credit of up to $500 based on tutoring hours exceeding 150 (with every 50 additional hours generating another $500, capped at $500 total supplemental). The maximum annual credit is therefore $1,000 per teacher, and for married couples both spouses can claim the credit separately if they qualify. The Treasury Department must report annually to Congress on the number of teachers claiming the credit, total tutoring hours provided, and geographic distribution of participants. The credit is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025, and expires after December 31, 2032.
