Arizona Public School Tax Credits

Keep your tax dollars local with Arizona’s dollar-for-dollar school tax credit, which goes directly to the school and eligible program you choose. Any amount will help our TCP students.

Reasons to contribute:

• It benefits taxpayers and schoolchildren alike.
  A.R.S. 43-1089 allows a tax credit of $200 for individuals and $400 for married couples filing jointly 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 contribute. Let’s say you contribute $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 for our extracurricular programs, including fine arts, athletics, academic competitions, honor societies, field trips, and character education. The best part is you choose what program that you want to support.  Simply put, tax credit contributions 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 to benefit from this tax credit.

As always consult your tax adviser to see how tax credits may benefit you.
