Frequently Asked Questions
Beginning in 2016, credit eligible fees paid and contributions made to a public school from January 1 through April 15 of a calendar year may be used as a tax credit on the prior year’s tax return. For example, qualifying contributions made to a public school January 1, 2024 through April 15, 2025 may be used as a tax credit on either your 2024 or 2025 Arizona income tax return.
Since there is no longer a December 31 deadline, the District Office will NOT be open to accept donations on December 31st.
