Arizona Tax Credit Information Sheet

The Arizona tax law (ARS 43-1089.01) allows taxpayers a TAX CREDIT on their state taxes.

If you pay Arizona taxes, your contribution costs you nothing and will immediately go to support the high school and program of YOUR choice – in our case The Arizona Youth Leadership Conference (AZYLC).

The TAX CREDIT maximum contributions are:

-$400 for married couples filing joint returns -$200 for single individuals and head of household -$200 for married couples filing separate returns

It is NO requirement that the taxpayer have a child enrolled in a public school to donate.

*100% of your donation comes back to you on your state income tax return!

Deadline to make your tax credit donation for calendar year 2018 is April 15, 2019.

Must the credit for contributions made or fees paid to a public school be claimed in the year of donation? No, beginning in 2016, credit eligible fees paid and contributions made to a public school from January 1 through April 15 of a calendar year may be used as a tax credit on the prior year’s tax return. For example, qualifying contributions made to a public school January 1, 2019 to April 15, 2019 may be used as a tax credit on either your 2018 or 2019 Arizona income tax return.

Is there a particular Arizona tax form I should use to claim this tax credit? Yes, use AZ Form 322 (Credit for Contributions Made or Fees Paid to Public Schools). Credit for Contributions. The Arizona Department of Revenue now requires that taxpayers report the school’s County Code, Type Code, and District Code & Site Number (CTDS) number on the Arizona income tax return for any contributions or fees made on Form 322. The CTDS is a nine (9) digit number that the Arizona Department of Education uses to identify Arizona public and charter schools. Those schools supported by our Chapter are listed below:
