A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 to allow a credit against the individual income tax for tuition paid for the elementary or secondary education of dependents.

Summary

Allows a credit against the income tax for amounts paid during the year to any nonprofit elementary or secondary school for the education of a dependent. Limits the allowable tax credits per dependent, to $200, or 50 percent of the tuition paid for such education during the year, whichever is less, with a progressive decrease of this limitation for individuals who have an adjusted gross income that is greater than $18,000. Grants standing to taxpayers to commence suits in the District Court for the District of Columbia challenging the constitutionality of this Act.
