Tax Credit

Did you know that the State of Arizona provides an option whereby you and other Arizona residents can help your scholar fund their tour cost through donations that then give the donor a dollar-for-dollar credit on their state income tax return?

Under Arizona law, Arizona taxpayers can claim a non-refundable individual tax credit for fees and cash contributions paid to public schools (including charters) in Arizona for the support of extracurricular activities or character education programs.

The credit is equal to the amount of fees paid or amount contributed, dollar-for-dollar, up to $200 for single or head of household taxpayers, and up to $400 for married taxpayers that file a joint return. (ARS §43-1089.01)

The state tax credit is available to ALL qualifying individual Arizona state taxpayers. The donor does not need to have a child enrolled at Heritage Academy to take advantage of this state tax credit; as long as the donor is an Arizona resident they can donate.

Due date: Taxpayers can make tax donations from January 1 up until April 15 of the following year to a charter school for extracurricular activities. Donations made between January 1 and April 15 must be designated as to which tax year the donation applies. For example, a donation made in April 2021 can be applied to either 2020 or 2021.

If you would like to make a donation to the Golf Team, please use the link at the top of the page to be directed to our school donation page. Simply follow the instructions, and you can support the team with new equipment and lodging for overnight invitationals!
