I oppose this bill.

This is not taxable according to the IRS. I oppose strongly!

I oppose HB 402

The IRS generally holds education scholarships to be non-taxable. I don't think you can just make up tax laws.

I strongly oppose this Bill. The EFA is a fund that has only one purpose and that is a child’s education. The amount is non-taxable since the amount does not have a widespread purpose. If the EFA is taxable, then the money MUST be allowed for any and all uses. Therefore a 1099 is not relevant.

Until child support is taxable at the federal level, I'll continue to oppose the addition of new income taxes.

Public Hearing: 02/12/2025 10:00 am LOB 202-204 Hello House Ways & Means Committee, We oppose HB 402 relative to liability as taxable income of education freedom account payments. Thank you!

As a resident and tax payer of Weare, NH, my family and I ask that you OPPOSE this bill (HB402)

Keep NH tax burden low - oppose.

I oppose this bill because I am a struggling mother whom homeschools and also works full time to provide for my children. I pay more taxes than I already should have to between my house and my paychecks. It is absolute nonsense to charge taxes on a grant that is supposed to be educating our children. We already pay taxes for a public school system we do not even take part in. It would be completely ludicrous to have this bill pass. My son was abused and locked in a closet multiple times at seabrook elementary school in Nh. He was too special for them to handle. They even sat on him and held his arms down. efa has made it possible to provide my children with the education he deserves and put him in programs such as MMA and STEAM classes.

This is absurd, and would never hold up to challenges in court. We don’t even have a state income tax. EFA accounts are ONLY used on educational expenses, which are not subject to tax. You also can’t tax some parents for their children’s supplies, but not others. I’m actually surprised anyone proposed this in all seriousness. They clearly don’t understand the law or how this program works very well.

If there are plans to tax EFA as income, then obviously there will be legislation introduced to similarly tax all public school students for their education as income as well. No? Then this is unconditionally unconstitutional and should be struck down.

I fully oppose this bill. Public school families are not taxed on the state funded money that is used to purchase their children’s textbooks and paper. It does not make any sense for EFA parents be taxed on that same state money for their children’s textbooks and paper. Will you be taxing each public school child as well?

EFA should not be considered a taxable income. This is money for education that is only a portion of what the public school gets. It is 25%. It is heavily monitored and can only be used for educational purposes. If considering this as income my children will loose their insurance. I cannot use this money on anything except school related items. Taxing this will greatly hurt my family.
