Thank you for your contributions!
Thank you for your interest in providing scholarships for Native American Christian Academy students. Your donation, designated specifically for Native American Christian Academy tuition, is made possible by the Arizona Private Education Scholarship Fund (APESF) and may qualify for a dollar-for-dollar Arizona tax credit.
A.R.S. 43-1089 NOTICE: A school tuition organization cannot award, restrict or reserve scholarships solely on the basis of donor recommendation. A taxpayer may not claim a tax credit if the taxpayer agrees to swap donations with another taxpayer to benefit either taxpayer's own dependent.
A school tuition organization is one that is tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and certified by the state of Arizona to receive tax credit qualifying donations and to award scholarships to students attending Arizona private schools.
90% or more of every dollar will be directly allocated to provide scholarships for students attending Native American Christian Academy.
Yes, you may receive an Arizona tax credit for the full amount of the contribution, up to the amount allowed by law or the actual Arizona state income tax you owe, whichever is less. Any excess can be carried forward and used to offset state income taxes for up to five years. A taxpayer who donates between January 1st and April 15th may elect to claim the credit in either the previous tax year or the current year in which the donation was made. Always consult a tax advisor with questions regarding your personal taxes.
In order to claim the tax credit for your donation, you must file Arizona tax forms 301, 323 and sometimes 348 along with your Arizona income tax forms. These forms (and instructions) can be downloaded here (http://www.azdor.gov/Forms/Credits.aspx). Please consult your tax preparer with further questions.
A tax credit lowers your tax bill dollar-for-dollar. A deduction decreases your taxable income, so the value deducted depends on your tax bracket. If you are in the 25% bracket, a $1,000 deduction lowers your tax bill by $250. But a $1,000 credit lowers your bill by the full $1,000, no matter the tax bracket.
Making a donation to APESF is an alternative to writing a check to the state. For example, if you owe $3,000 to the state, you could say, "I want $1,000 of that to go to students at Native American Christian Academy," and you would then only owe $2,000 to the state. In other words, a tax credit contribution to APESF directly reduces the amount of taxes you owe to the state of Arizona that you would have to pay anyway. By taking the credit you are, in effect, re-directing your tax dollars to benefit worthy students at Native American Christian Academy.
Donors who contribute online will automatically receive an email receipt and may also request a receipt be mailed to them. Donors who contribute by mail with a check will have the option on the donor form to receive it by mail, email or both.
STEP was designed to enable any qualified Arizona private school to market the tax-credit program to its unique consitutents in a way that highlights (and feels like!) the school.
The STEP mission is:
APESF provides compliance with the state of Arizona for each participating school as a certified STO and 501(c)(3). APESF enables donors to receive either a tax credit or tax deduction for their donation, but the school community and its students are at the focus.
