Do parents who homeschool get paid?
Asked by families. Answered by Peabody editors from the sources below.
No state Peabody has checked pays a parent to teach. Some give homeschool families education-account money (Peabody's state pages list 18 programs), a few give tax credits (Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota and Oklahoma), and the federal scholarship starting in 2027 may help where state law treats a homeschool as a school. Taking account money can change your homeschool status, so read the rules first.

This is a plain-words summary, not legal or tax advice. Rules change: check the current law and the program's own pages before you count on any money.
