Pennsylvania scholarship context

Pennsylvania's scholarship program on file is the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit.

Donations to Pennsylvania SGOs can qualify for a state tax credit of up to 75% of the donation. The program is administered by Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development.

Pennsylvania's federal scholarship tax credit status is No Decision Yet. Treasury announced the proposed rules on Oct 1, 2026 and published them in the Federal Register on Oct 2, 2026, and Pennsylvania has not decided yet. State senators have proposed requiring participation. The federal credit is reduced by any state credit claimed for the same contribution. The national tracker states the credit as up to $1,700 per taxpayer ($1,700 single, $3,400 married filing jointly).
