ARIZONA TAX CREDIT PROGRAM

In 1997, the Private School Tuition Credit Law was passed in Arizona. This law allows any Arizona tax payer to redirect up to $1,000 a year in state tax dollars to a "private school tuition organization" and receive a dollar for dollar tax credit when filing a state income tax return.  Contributions up to $1,000 can be made throughout the year; however, the deadline for making the contribution is December 31.

Casas Christian School (CCS) raises money through this program each year and provides need-based financial aid to families who desire a Christian education for their children but are not financially able to make that dream a reality.  Last year CCS provided financial aid to over 100 children. 

If you would like to participate in this wonderful program, follow these steps:

  • Contact the school office to request donor and tax forms at (520) 297-0922.

  • Then, using those forms, donate a gift of up to $1,000 to Institute for Better Education, a state tuition organization approved to receive tax dollars for schools.

  • When you file your annual state income taxes, attach the tax form and receipt indicating your contribution.

  • You will receive a dollar for dollar credit for up to $1,000 on your state income tax.

  • This credit reduces the amount of state income tax you owe.

  • You can also claim the gift as a charitable tax deduction on your Federal tax form.

This is a win/win situation for both Casas Christian School and the taxpayer.
