School Tax Credit

November 15, 2017 By Jesse Tejeda

How It Works: Unlike a tax deduction, a tax credit directly reduces the amount of taxes you owe to the state, dollar for dollar. This means a donation of $400 can reduce your tax liability by $400 (but it will not increase your tax refund). If your tax is reduced to zero, you can carry the unused credit forward for the next five years. This allows you to donate to programs that help our youth and their families and you get your money back – it’s like donating for free.

The State of Arizona offers all residents the opportunity to support Genesis Academy through the Arizona Public School Tax Credit program. Every taxpayer can allocate up to $200 (single) or $400 (married couples) of their tax dollars to an Arizona public school for extracurricular activities and character education programs. The donation must be received by Genesis Academy by April, 2023. You will receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit from your Arizona State Income Tax. Your dollars support extracurricular activities and character education programs including: Los Literati Book Club, Genesis Aztecs Basketball Program, Fine Arts Program, and the Student Civic Engagement Program.
