ESA questions, answered

What is an education savings account (ESA)?
An ESA is a state-funded account that lets approved families pay for qualified education expenses — curriculum, tutoring, therapies, and certain services and software — usually through a platform like ClassWallet, Odyssey, or Step Up. Each state sets its own award amount, eligible categories, and rules.
Can I use ESA funds for homeschool record-keeping software?
Often, yes. Many programs include curriculum, online learning programs, and educational software as eligible categories. ArborSlate is ESA-eligible in Arizona under the “tuition or fees, online learning program (non-public)” category. Approval is per submission and set by your state, so always check your program’s current category list.
How does ArborSlate help with an ESA audit?
It keeps every expense organized by your state’s approved categories, attaches receipts, flags commonly-disallowed vendors, and assembles quarterly summaries and one-click audit-defense exports — so when a review comes, your records are already in order.
Which states does ArborSlate support?
The free ESA expense tracker and the full records system work in any state, ESA or not. State-specific pages with verified expense categories are live for Arizona and a growing list of programs — pick your state above to see what’s covered.
