The State of Arizona has a law that benefits taxpayers and school children alike? A.R.S 43-1089 allows a tax credit of $200 for individuals and $400 for married couples filing jointly, for fees or donations paid to a public school in support of extracurricular activities.
It gives you a say in how your tax dollars are spent and reduces your tax bill by the amount you donate. Let's say you donate $400 to an eligible school activity. You will reduce your Arizona State tax bill by $400.00. If you expect a refund, it will be $400 higher. If you don't pay state income tax, you cannot reduce your liability below $0.
A $200 donation will host an activity bus to an Orienteering Meet at Lake Pleasant for 14 Varsity athletes. A $400 donation will pay for a yellow school bus to Luke Air Force Base or NAU/ Lowell Observatory, etc. for 50 cadets.
