Have you ever wished you could designate where your state tax money
goes? Well, you can. Thanks to Arizona Revised Statute 43-1089.01
enacted in 1998, taxpayers may receive up to a $400 tax credit on their
State income taxes by contributing to one of Washington Elementary
School District's extracurricular activity programs.
The tax credit program gives a dollar-for-dollar reduction in
state income taxes. This law allows taxpayers the opportunity to
designate their tax dollars to directly benefit schools and students.
According to the law, this money must be designated for
extracurricular activities that supplement the educational program. These activities may include:
before- and after-school band clubs; classes; sports programs; and
non-recreational field trips. Extracurricular programs provide positive
learning experiences for children.
