Married couples in the US could claim up to $3,400 in federal tax credits from 2027 by donating to eligible scholarship organisations. However, the maximum is not automatic, and couples must meet separate contribution requirements for each spouse to qualify for the full amount.
The Education Freedom Tax Credit allows eligible taxpayers to claim up to $1,700 each for qualifying cash contributions to Scholarship Granting Organisations (SGOs). The credit is non-refundable, meaning it can reduce eligible federal tax liability but does not automatically provide a cash payment for any unused amount.
