Yearly, Arizona allows all residents to donate up to $400 to a local public school (including charter schools) and receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit. Anyone in Arizona can donate to a child’s school – not just parents, but grandparents, aunts, uncles, and even neighbors – as long as they have at least a $400 Arizona tax bill.

Donations made to Legacy Traditional Schools help fund our educational field trips and offset the cost of producing concerts, art shows, spelling bees, and science fairs.

Contributions made now through April 15, 2026, can be applied to your 2025 Arizona Income Tax bill.

The Arizona Department of Revenue now requires taxpayers to report the school’s county code, type code, and district code and site number (CTDS) on Form 322, which is included with the Arizona income tax return, to claim Arizona’s tax credit for contributions made or certain fees paid to a public school.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need to make my donation by?

For each tax year, donations can be made until April 15 of the following year. For example, for the 2025 tax year, donations can be made until April 15, 2026.

What is the difference between a tax deduction and a tax credit?

A tax deduction lowers the amount of your taxable income, while a tax credit lowers the amount of taxes you owe.

How does a tax credit work?

The tax credit can lower your annual tax bill. For example, if you have a $1,000 Arizona tax bill, donating $400 to your child’s school would lower your tax bill to just $600.

Can only parents take advantage of Arizona’s Education Tax Credit?

No. Any Arizona resident may donate to a school and take advantage of the tax credit. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and neighbors can donate and receive a tax credit, as long as they have an Arizona Income Tax liability.

How large is the tax credit?

Couples filing jointly can receive a $400 tax credit for a $400 donation. Single and Head of Household filers can receive a $200 tax credit for a $200 donation.

Does an entire donation have to be given to just one school?

No. Your donation can be applied to multiple schools. For example, if you have two children, one who attends a Legacy school and the other who attends a local high school, a $200 donation could be made to each school for a total of $400.
