Claim: Family Education Freedom Act allowed individuals a credit against income tax which was originally $3,000 which could be used to pay private school tuition.
Evidence: The bill says that it will "amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow individuals a credit against income tax for tuition and related expenses for public and nonpublic elementary and secondary education." The tax credit was originally $3,000 in past versions of the bill, and in 2007 the proposed tax credit was increased to $5,000 per child in school.
