What is The Tuition Tax Credit?

A.R.S. 43-1089, The Tuition Tax Credit Law, allows Arizona taxpayers to receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for contributions made to qualified school tuition organizations. Beginning in 2006, married couples filing a joint income tax return may contribute up to $1000 annually; those married filing separately and all other Arizona tax payers may contribute up to $500 each annually.

What are the benefits?

Taxpayers will receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on Arizona Income Tax.

Donations are also eligible to be claimed as a deduction on Federal Income Tax returns.

How do I make a contribution?

Contact or visit the website of one of these tuition organizations. You can designate Martin Luther School on your form.

You can also recommend a recipient for your donation, but the recipient cannot be your own child.

How do I apply for assistance?

Contact the Martin Luther School office for the forms and information necessary to apply.
