Avondale Elementary School District #44 2015 ARIZONA STATE TAX CREDIT CONTRIBUTION FORM

The Arizona tax law (ARS 43-1089.01) allows taxpayers a TAX CREDIT of up to $400 per household if they contribute to extracurricular activities in public schools. What is an extracurricular activity? Extracurricular activities are optional, noncredit, educational activities that are offered before, during, or after school hours. Examples include field trips, enrichment activities, athletic and music programs, and after school clubs. These programs depend on fees from students. The Governing Board has approved a fee schedule, which designates the appropriate extracurricular programs. Who is eligible? This tax credit is available to all Arizona individual taxpayers regardless of whether or not they have children in school. An individual can contribute and receive tax credit for any amount up to $200, or a couple filing jointly can contribute up to $400. Where does the money go? Does it have to be $400? You may indicate which school and which program you would like to support or you can designate your money to be given to the school(s) with the greatest need. The credit also may be split between one or more schools. The amount of the tax credit you take does not have to be for the total allowable amount of $400 – you may donate up to your $200 or $400 limit in installments during the calendar year or donate it at one time.
