Plain-English Summary

The proposal would eliminate a tax break that currently allows individuals to reduce their federal income taxes when they donate money to organizations that provide scholarships to students. This change would affect donors who support scholarship programs and could reduce funding available for student scholarships, while potentially increasing tax revenue for the federal government.
