The Arizona State Tax Credit program allows you to make a donation to a public school and receive a dollar-for-dollar credit against your Arizona state taxes. Married couples filing jointly can contribute up to $400, and individuals can contribute up to $200 and get that donation back in full on their tax returns, provided they have at least that much tax liability.
School tax credit donations are used to supplement education through extracurricular activities that enhance children's lives and extend their learning. Students who play sports in school are more likely to stay in school and succeed academically. Children who participate in fine arts do better in basic academic subjects, including math, reading, writing and science.
Making a contribution is easy, and all donations have an incredible impact on student experiences.
