Don’t Forget about the Arizona Tax Credits!
Public Schools
This credit is available for
cash, check or credit card payments made to both public and
charter schools. Even if you do not itemize deductions
on your tax return, you are eligible for this credit.
Fees paid to support extracurricular activities such as field
trips, sports and fine arts are qualified for the credit
calculation. Donations of goods are not recognized
for the tax credit, but will still be eligible for Schedule A
on Form 1040.
School districts have the ability to accept online contributions.
School Tuition Organizations
This credit is available for
cash, check or credit card payments made to private school
tuition organizations. Even if you do not itemize your
deductions on your tax return, you are eligible for the
credit. Unlike the public school contribution, you
cannot designate the funds for the benefit of anyone and
still be eligible for a federal deduction.
