Arizona School Tax Credit program 

What is a tax credit?

Arizona law (A.R.S. 43-1089.01)  A tax credit is a direct, dollar for dollar reduction from your yearly state tax. The State of Arizona is allowing taxpayers to donate to schools and deduct this amount from their state taxes. How much can be donated?

Any amount up to the maximum allowable 2007 tax credit as follows:

Single or Head of Household: $200
Married Filing Jointly:$400
Married Filing Separately: $200

Use Form 322 to deduct your contribution from your Arizona state taxes.  In order to receive the tax credit you must file Arizona Form 140 (the longer tax return form).

Where do the donations go?

You can donate to the school of your choice—you do not have to live in Glendale to donate to our school. Donations will fund extracurricular student activities such as after school sports, clubs, field trips, or academic activities.  You may donate to a specific program or to the school's general extracurricular activity fund to be used wherever the need is greatest.

Download the brochure to read about this valuable program and how you can participate. The Arizona Department of Revenue has additional information. Donations must be postmarked by midnight December 31 to be eligible for the current year.
