Donate to Schools & Receive a
Tax Credit of up to $400
From the State of Arizona!

About the Tax Credit Program

The Tax Credit program allows every person who files an income tax return with the State of Arizona the opportunity to receive a tax credit for contributing to extracurricular activities. These tax credits support extracurricular and character education programs in the Madison School District.

Anyone can participate, married or single, with or without children. Married couples filing jointly may contribute any amount up to $400. Single persons, heads of households, and married couples filing separately may all contribute up to $200 .

Donations may be used for any school sponsored activities that require students to pay a fee in order to participate or for a character education program. Examples include: foreign language, field trips, enrichment activities, athletic and fine art programs, and after-school clubs.

How the Program Works

For every dollar you donate, the amount you owe on your 2009 Arizona taxes will be that much less. If you do not owe taxes, the amount you donate may be carried forward for up to five years to offset future tax liabilities.

For example, if a single person owes $300 on their state taxes for 2009 and donates the maximum amount of $200, they will then only owe the state $100. If a single person owes $100 on their state taxes for 2009 and donates the maximum amount of $200, they will owe nothing on their taxes for this year and can still use the remaining $100 to offset future taxes.
