K-12 Education Subtraction and Credit
field_block:node:page:body
The Minnesota Department of Revenue has two tax relief programs for families with children in kindergarten through 12th grade: the K-12 Education Subtraction and the K-12 Education Credit. Both programs help lower taxes and may provide a larger refund when you file Form M1, Individual Income Tax.
To qualify for either program, you must:
- Have a qualifying child attending kindergarten through 12th grade at a public, private, or qualified home school. For details, go to Qualifying Child for K-12 Education Subtraction and Credit.
- Have paid “qualified education expenses” during the year for that child’s education. For details, go to Qualifying Expenses for the K-12 Education Subtraction and Credit.
Note: You may not use the same qualified education expenses to claim both the subtraction and the credit.
