Federal Scholarship Tax Credit Information

Scholarship

Starting January 1, 2027, the FSTC (Federal Scholarship Tax Credit, formerly called the EFTC Education Freedom Tax Credit) lets anyone who owes federal income tax redirect up to $1,700 a person ($3400 married, filing jointly) a year to scholarships for students at Christian schools like ours, dollar for dollar. Rutherford County Christian School partners with ACCORD Kids, the scholarship granting organization (SGO) for AACS (American Association of Christian Schools) schools. Friends and family can pledge now and give on or after January 1.

 

START HERE: Check Line 24 (“Total Tax”) on last year’s federal return. How much did you pay? You can donate this amount (up to $1700 per individual or $3400 married, filing jointly) to our school and receive a dollar-for-dollar credit. Consult your tax professional.
