Arizona School Tax Credit

Arizona law provides a tax credit for contributions to public schools to support extracurricular activities or character education. Additional support areas include:

• standardized testing fees for college credit or readiness, such as PSAT, AP and IB tests

• career and technical education industry certification

• assessment preparation courses and materials for standardized testing

• summer school

• athletic programs

• students consumable healthcare supplies

• playground equipment and shade structures for playground equipment

• capital improvements

You can help MCRSD students and possibly lower your tax bill by making a donation. The state tax credit is available to ALL qualifying individual Arizona state taxpayers. You do not need to have a child enrolled in a school to take advantage of this state tax credit.

It is always best to consult a tax adviser to see if you qualify for the dollar-for-dollar credit. A tax credit is different from a deduction, because you may subtract the whole contribution from your Arizona state tax bill. An individual may contribute as much as $200, and a couple filing jointly may contribute as much as $400 to a public school and receive the money back in the form of a tax credit.

General Donations

General, tax deductible donations, provide schools with the ability to support a wide-range of supports and services both in and out of school. Many of our students do not have consistent access to meals, clothing, or housing. General donations support our work in meeting a wide-range of needs that contribute to the success of each child.
