Tax Credit
*Give kids the extra credit*
You can help students have the greatest success by giving them the opportunity to participate in the "extra" - in extra curricular activities. Your donation is a dollar for dollar tax credit. Its a great way to support the school of your choice through the Arizona tax credit program. This credit allows an Arizona taxpayer to contribute $250 per individual tax return or $500 per joint tax return to a school’s extra curricular program or character education program. Contributions are to the school of your choice. Please consider Sun Valley High School when making your tax credit contribution.
Commonly Asked Questions:
1. Do I have to have children enrolled in school?
No. Any Arizona individual paying state income tax can make a tax credit contribution. Parents,
Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Etc....
2. How does this work on my tax return?
When you file your state taxes, you will record the tax credit contribution on Form 322 (downloadable
from the State.) As an example, if you make a $400 tax credit contribution and you calculate a state
tax refund, applying the credit will increase your refund by $400. If you calculate a liability, applying
the credit will reduce your liability. However, you cannot receive a refund greater than your State
income tax assessment for the tax year.
3. Do I have to donate the full $250 for individual or $500 for joint tax donation?
No, you can donate any amount up to $250 for individual tax filers and $500 for married filing a joint
return. So if you donate $50 or $100 toward the Arizona Tax Credit to Sun Valley High School
you can apply this to Form 322 for your state taxes and have it applied as stated above.
4. Who can make an Arizona Tax Donation?
Tax donations can be accepted only from individuals filing returns, not businesses.
