Student Fees and Tax Credits
It is never too early to give tax credit monies to the school district of your choice. Tax credits help supplement extra curricular actives at Arizona schools. Your donation helps to enrich the students' experiences in the academic and athletic areas you have chosen. A tax credit by definition is a credit for the amount of any fees or cash contributions made to a public school in the state of Arizona for the support of extra-curricular activities or character education programs. This means that, if you choose to give, you would receive credit on your Arizona state taxes for the amount you gave, in the calendar year it was given. The limits for tax credits must not exceed $200 for persons filing single and $400 for married couples filing jointly. To contribute, a tax payer is not required to have a child in the school system. A copy of the form used for the Ajo Unified School District can be downloaded here.
To use this Tax Credit money, each school has to set a fee schedule for extra curricular activities. The Ajo Unified School District recently revised their fee schedule. For elementary students the fee is $1.00 for each student. If your student attends High School at the Ajo Unified School District, the fee schedule is as follows…
$35 for any sport or activity
If your student participates in multiple sports and activities they are still only required to pay $35
$50 for families with more than one child in any sport or activity
If Mr. & Mrs. Smith have three children in the Ajo High School, and they all participate in a number of extra curricular activities, they are only required to pay $50.
The good news is that this Student Fee can also be applied as a Tax Credit, as long as you have not donated/paid over the limit of $200 for single filer and $400 for married filed jointly. If Mr. & Mrs. Smith donate $300 in Tax Credits to the AHS Softball Team, and then pay $50 in Student Fees, they are eligible to receive a credit of $350 on the return of that calendar year, as long as they file their state taxes jointly.
If you have any questions about Tax Credits or Student Fees, or would like a form mailed to you please call 520-387-5618 or visit the District Office at 111 N. Well Road, Ajo, AZ 85321
