Oklahoma homeschool tax credit and Gallop
Oklahoma gives homeschool families a refundable income tax credit of up to $1,000 per student for qualified expenses paid during the tax year. Online learning programs and curriculum are on the list, so Gallop may count toward it. Check with whoever does your taxes.
How the credit works
- Up to $1,000 for each homeschooled student, based on what you paid for that student during the year.
- It's refundable.
- Qualified expenses include tuition and fees for nonpublic online learning programs, and textbooks, curriculum and other instructional materials.
- You claim it on your Oklahoma income tax return for the year you paid, and you send receipts with it.
- Starting with tax year 2026, state law caps the total for homeschool credits, so the amount a family receives may be reduced.
Paid by December 31
Expenses count in the year you pay them. Anything you pay for Gallop by December 31 falls in that tax year.
Keep the receipt
Your Gallop receipt lists each child by name and what you paid, which is what you send with your return.
Two ways to pay
- Monthly: Solo $34/month for one child, or Family $54/month for up to 4. Annual is $348 (Solo) or $552 (Family).
- School-Year Pass: $29 for each month left through June 30, one child, paid once.
What your child gets
K-12 online curriculum in math, English, science, social studies and Spanish. A placement check finds each child's level in every subject, a short daily plan sets the work, every lesson is read aloud, and a wrong answer gets explained with a second try. You get a weekly report and a dashboard with notes on each child.
