Individual, Original & Switcher/Overflow Tuition Tax Credit Laws

 

  • What is the Individual Original and Switcher Tuition Tax Credits?

In Arizona, individuals can receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for supporting School Tuition Organizations (STOs) that provide financial aid to K-12 students attending private schools in the state. For example, in 2023, individuals can claim up to $652 and married couples can claim up to $1,301 in "Switcher" credits, but only after contributing the maximum credit amount allowed for the "Original" Individual Income Tax Credit ($655 for individuals, $1,308 for joint filers in 2023).

 

  • What is the Corporate Tuition Tax Credits?

In 2006 and then in 2008, the Arizona State Legislature passed into law “The Corporate Income Tax Credit” and then the Disabled/Displaced Corporate Income Tax Credit, allowing businesses with an Arizona tax liability to allocate up to 100% of their tax liability and make a contribution to a qualified School Tuition Organization such as STO4KIDZ, and receive a dollar-for-dollar Tax Credit, may also qualify to claim that amount on their federal taxes as a donation.  (To submit your pledge CLICK HERE )
