SchoolCenter Picture 

Arizona Law (AR 43-1098.01) allows taxpayers to claim a Tax Credit if they make a donation to a public school extra-curricular activity.

Your donation will benefit students in St. Johns Public Schools.  It is not just a deduction but rather a tax credit!  It reduces the amount you owe in state taxes dollar-for-dollar as long as you paid the same amount or more in state taxes as you donated.

Q: How do I claim the credit on my AZ tax return?

A: When you do yout State Taxes just fill out AZ Form 322 which will be availalble at the District Office or online at the AZ Department of Revenue website.  This is an Arizona Tax Credit.  You cannot claim both a tax credit and an itemized deduction for the amount made to a public school for which you are claiming a credit.  For more information please consult a tax professional. 

Q: What if I didn't pay as much in taxes as I donated to he school?

A: The state allows the taxpayer five years to claim the donated amount.  If you paid $100 in taxes for 2012, and you donated $400.00 to the HS Student Council, you can only claim $100.00 on your 2012 taxes.  You still have four more years that you can claim the other $300.  More information is available on AZ Tax Form 322.
