Bill > H4250

This bill establishes tax benefits for individuals and businesses related to student loan assistance. For individuals, it creates a personal income tax deduction for any student loan payment assistance received from an employer, meaning employers can pay the principal or interest on a qualified education loan (a loan for higher education expenses, as defined by federal tax law) for their employees, and that amount will not be considered taxable income for the employee. For businesses, it introduces a tax credit equal to 100% of the student loan payment assistance they provide to their employees, up to a maximum of $4,500 per employee per year, which can be carried over for up to five years if the credit exceeds the business's tax liability in a given year. This applies to both general businesses and business corporations, aiming to incentivize employers to help their employees manage student loan debt.
