Arizona School Tax Credit


This year do something really smart about your tax bill... Keep your tax dollars local! Any amount will help PUSD students. And you don't have to wait until December - contribute any time of year.

The State of Arizona has a law that benefits taxpayers and school children alike. A.R.S. 43-1089 allows a tax credit of $200 for individuals and $400 for married couples filing jointly, for fees or donations paid to a public school in support of extracurricular activities.

It costs you nothing. It gives you a say in how your tax dollars are spent and reduces your tax bill by whatever amount you donate. Let’s say you donate $400 to an eligible school activity, you will reduce your Arizona state tax bill by $400. If you expect a refund, it will be $400 higher. If you don’t pay state income tax, you can’t reduce your liability below $0.

Arizona Tax CreditSo many programs in need of support. Last year, taxpayers like you helped cover the costs of field trips, after-school programs, admission to plays, concerts, parks, museums and nature camps, and music, art and physical education programs. Simply put, tax credit donations make possible a wide range of learning opportunities that our children would not otherwise have. And you don’t have to have a child in the school district to benefit from this tax credit.

Please respond today. There has never been a better time – or way – for you to help Prescott’s schoolchildren. Your donation must be made before December 31st to apply to the current year, so please claim your tax credit today.
