Bill overview
This bill, the Tax-Free Pell Grant Act, would make Pell Grants tax-free for students. It amends the Internal Revenue Code to ensure that Pell Grants received for tuition and related expenses are not considered income for tax purposes. The bill also clarifies that Pell Grants are excluded from calculations for the American Opportunity and Lifetime Learning Tax Credits. These changes would provide financial relief to students and families who rely on Pell Grants to pay for higher education.
