Did you know you have a choice how the State will spend your tax dollars?

As long as you pay at least $200 in state taxes, you can choose how this money is spent. Arizona taxpayers can designate up to $200 for public school extra curricular activites and deduct that amount from their state tax bill. You can now specify the individual student, school, and the extra curricular activity, such as band. You do not have to be a parent of a student at the school; grandparents and friends can receive the credit too.

Individuals and married couple filing joinly can take a credit of up to $200 per tax return. Married couples filing separately can credit up to $100 each. A tax credit form must be filled out and the money need to be turned in to the bookstore no later than December 31st to be credited on this year's tax return. You might want to plan around the school closing for winter break.

You probably have to pay something in State taxes anyway, so why not have that money helping your son or daughter!
