Arizona School Tax Credit

Keep your tax dollars local!

Tax Credits may be any amount, up to the State's allowable $400 (joint return) or $200 (individuals).

Details
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. The beauty of the tax cr edit is that it costs you nothing, gives you a say in how your tax dollars are spent and reduces your 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.

So 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.
