Frequently Asked Questions

AZ School Tax Credit

  • When do I need to make my donation by? Donations can be made up until April 15, or until you file your taxes for the current year.

  • What is the difference between a tax deduction and a tax credit? A tax deduction lowers the amount of your taxable income while a tax credit lowers the amount of taxes you owe.

  • How does a tax credit work? For example, if you had a $1,000 Arizona tax bill, by donating $400 to your child’s school, your tax bill would be lowered to just $600.

  • Can only parents take advantage of Arizona’s Education Tax Credit? No – any Arizona resident may donate to a school and take advantage of the tax credit. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, even neighbors can donate and receive a tax credit, as long as they have an Arizona Income Tax liability.

  • How large is the tax credit? Couples filing jointly can receive a $400 tax credit for a $400 donation. Single and Head of Household filers can receive a $200 tax credit for a $200 donation.

  • Does an entire donation have to be given to just one school? No. Your donation can be applied to multiple schools. For example, if you have two children, one who attends Edison School and the other attends a local high school, a $200 donation could be made to each school for a total of $400.

  • Where can I find more information on Arizona’s Education Tax Credit? Details on Arizona’s School Tax Credits are available here by the Arizona Department of Revenue.
