HR 2543 United States House · 119th Congress

Tax-Free Pell Grant Act

This bill makes Federal Pell Grants tax-free for students, removing the tax burden on these federal education awards. It also expands the American Opportunity Tax Credit to cover eligible child care costs (for students enrolled in school) and up to $1,000 for computer equipment or internet access used for education. These changes apply to tax returns filed for 2025 and later. The bill directly affects students receiving Pell Grants and those claiming the American Opportunity Credit for educational expenses.
