Private school tuition deduction
Under current law, an individual, when computing income for income tax purposes, may deduct the tuition paid during the year to send his or her dependent child to private school. The maximum deduction is $4,000 for an elementary school pupil and $10,000 for a secondary school pupil.
Under this bill, only individuals whose Wisconsin adjusted gross income is below a threshold amount may claim the deduction for private school tuition. The threshold amount is $100,000 for single individuals and heads of household, $150,000 for married couples filing jointly, and $75,000 for married individuals filing separately.
Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed as an appendix to the bill.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
