Enhancing Educational Opportunities for all Students Act Amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to allow a state educational agency to allocate grant funds among local educational agencies based on the number of eligible children (children age 5 to 17 from a family with an income below the poverty level) enrolled in the public schools and the state-accredited private schools within each local agency's geographic jurisdiction. Amends the Internal Revenue Code to: (1) allow payment of home school expenses from Coverdell education savings accounts; (2) remove the dollar limitation on contributions to Coverdell education savings accounts and require such accounts to provide adequate safeguards to prevent contributions from exceeding the amount necessary to provide for the qualified education expenses of the account beneficiary; and (3) allow tax-exempt qualified tuition programs (529 tuition programs) to pay qualified pre-kindergarten, elementary, and secondary education expenses.

Support of provisions in S. 306, the Enhancing Education Opportunities for All Students Act, which will allow homeschool families to use the Coverdell Education Savings Account for homeschool k-12 expenses. Currently, federal law only allows families to use the Coverdell Education Savings Accounts for "public and private school expenses," and S. 306 would allow families to use Coverdell Education Savings Accounts for homeschool expenses, as well as public and private school expenses. Opposition to any federal funds going to homeschoolers, including "Title I portability" or vouchers. Meetings with staffers to oppose provisions in HR 5517 and HR 6119 that could potentially allow homeschool students to receive Title I federal funds or other federal vouchers. HSLDA opposes this because it could lead to federal regulation over homeschool families.

Opposition to Proposed IRS regulations concerning optional social security number collection from donors to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations out of concern that this could chill donations to charities, and that it may lead to mandatory social security number collection. The proposed regulations were published on September 17, 2015, under IRS Docket Number IRS-2015-0049. We notified our membership about our concerns and urged public comments in opposition to the regulations in December of 2015. The Proposed Regulations were withdrawn by the IRS in January of 2016.
