Current State-Level Programs
As of early 2026, Kansas does not have an active state-funded ESA, voucher, or tax credit program specifically for homeschool families. However, significant legislative efforts are underway.
Proposed Legislation: Senate Bill 75
Senate Bill 75, introduced in January 2025, would have created an education tax credit program. Key provisions:
- $8,000 tax credit per child enrolled in an accredited private school
- $4,000 tax credit per child who is homeschooled (non-accredited private school)
- Credits could be claimed in advance or at tax time
- Program capped at $125 million in the first year, increasing by 25% annually
However, SB 75 was withdrawn from the calendar and referred to the Committee on Ways and Means in February 2025, stalling its progress. The bill has not been signed into law as of this writing. Kansas Republican leaders continue to push for school choice legislation, so this landscape may change. [VERIFY current status of SB 75 or successor bills]
Tax Credit for Low-Income Students Scholarship Program
Kansas does have a Tax Credit for Low-Income Students Scholarship Program that provides scholarships for students from lower-income families to attend accredited private schools. This program is administered through scholarship-granting organizations, but it does not directly apply to homeschool families since homeschools are non-accredited.
Federal Tax Benefits
Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, families can withdraw up to $20,000 per year from 529 accounts for qualified K-12 expenses as of 2026. This applies to homeschool curriculum, textbooks, tutoring, and educational supplies regardless of state.
Local Resources
- Kansas public libraries - free access to educational materials statewide
- Kansas Home Educators - support group providing community connections and resources
- Virtual schools - some families join Kansas virtual schools like Opened to access state funding for curriculum and classes while maintaining flexibility
- National homeschool grants - organizations like the Home School Foundation offer need-based assistance
