    Tax Credit Facts

    • Anyone with or without children, married or single, is eligible for this unprecedented state tax credit.
    • The $400 maximum state tax credit is available for taxpayers who are married and filing jointly. A husband and wife who file separate returns for a taxable year in which they could have filed a joint return may each claim only $200.
    • For a single individual or a head of household, the tax credit is $200.
    • A state tax credit will allow you to reduce the amount of your tax liability to the state or increase your refund from the state. If you donate the maximum $400, your Arizona tax bill would be $400 less or your refund would be $400 more.
    • You may donate less than $400 and be eligible to receive the state tax credit in the amount of your donation. The amount you donate (up to $400) will be the amount you may claim as a state tax credit.
    • You may split your $400 donation among more than one public school, but will still qualify for a maximum state credit of $400.
    • Your donation also reduces your taxable income to the federal government, thereby reducing your tax burden to the federal government usually by 1/3 of the donation amount.
