What it does
The bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code to exclude AmeriCorps educational awards from gross income for federal tax purposes, meaning recipients would not have to pay federal income tax on these awards. It also specifies that amounts received under national service educational awards, including those used to discharge student loan debt, would not be included in gross income. The changes would apply to amounts received or discharged in taxable years ending after the date of enactment. The bill affects individuals who receive AmeriCorps educational awards under the National and Community Service Act of 1990.
