Summary

Educational Expenses Tax Deferral Act - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow a deferral of an individual's income tax liability to the extent it equals a limited portion of the higher educational expenses incurred for the taxpayer, his spouse and dependents. Defers payment until the year following the end of the individual's attendance at an institution of higher education, or the tenth year following the taxpayer's initial deferral, which ever is earlier. Directs the Secretaries of the Treasury and Health, Education, and Welfare to each make two biannual reports to Congress on the effects of this Act.
