Arizona School Tax Credit
Grandparents, neighbors, and friends who do not have students at Lincoln School are also encouraged to take advantage of this program!
It's a win-win for you and Lincoln Elementary School
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. And you don't have to have a child in the school district to benefit from the tax credit program.
How it works
The tax credit reduces your tax liability by the amount you donate. If you donate $400 to an eligible school activity, you 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
Tax credit donations make possible a wide range of learning opportunities that our children would not otherwise have and you choose where you would like your money to be used.
To claim the tax credit, taxpayers must contribute to an extracurricular activity for which the school district requires a fee, including Field trips, science equipment, Art Club, Choir Club, summer school, and athletics.
Remember, you don't have to have a child in the school to benefit from this tax credit.
