Education funding for K-12 is always a hot topic in getting the House budget passed, because it affects every taxpayer in every community.

So exactly which state taxes support education funding? A portion of the Business Profits Tax, the Business Enterprise Tax, rental car tax, tobacco tax and the real estate transfer tax go toward education funding. One hundred percent of the lottery profits, the tobacco settlement, utility property tax and the statewide property tax make up the remainder of the dollars that are part of education funding for K-12.
