Hat tip to The Informed Parent.

There are currently two bills in the U.S. Congress which could potentially affect homeschoolers. The first, S. 3076, would provide an optional tax deduction for homeschool families. HSLDA and Home Education Magazine have both written about this bill.

The other bill, HR 6737, was introduced on July 31, 2008. It has yet to be commented upon by leaders in the homeschool community. To read the text of this bill, go to the Library of Congress search engine THOMAS and enter bill number HR 6737. This bill also involves amending the federal tax code in favor of homeschoolers.
