001No one likes to pay taxes but when you do pay tax there is nothing better than receiving a tax credit just for doing something good. And getting your tax credit is easier than you think. Arizona state law allows you as a tax payer to receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for any contributions you make or fees you pay to an Arizona public school. In support of extracurricular activities for a character education this tax credit is not a tax deduction it's a dollar-for-dollar reduction of the actual tax you owe for example if you owe $500 in state tax and make a $200 contribution to our school district your tax bill will be reduced to only $300 that's a full refund for your financial support of public education in our school district it's even better if you're married
002because couples filing jointly can receive a tax credit above to $400 that's not all because if you receive a bigger tax credit than the actual tax you owe you can carry that tax credit forward into the next year the tax credit is available to any Arizona taxpayer even if you don't have children just make a contribution to any eligible program in any of our schools on or before April 15th to get credit for this tax year while eligible programs can vary from school to school in general contributions or fees paid for curriculum based field trips or extracurricular activities like art drama music athletics character education and most clubs are eligible for a tax credit when you make your contribution to one of our schools you are in control because instead of giving your money to
