Donations to Charter Schools like Tucson International Academy are Tax Deductible! Because our school is a non-profit corporation with a 501 C3 exemption, all donations are tax deductible. In Arizona, our state gives residents a direct $200 per person ($400 per couple) tax credit for donations up to that amount. For more information on Arizona Tax Credit Click here.

We appreciate any donation you may give our schools.

You may specify a program you would like to “sponsor” or just make a general gift. We have many programs that make our school outstanding, such as: Chinese language program taught to all grades, Kinder – 12th; Spanish language program taught to all grades, Kinder – 12th; Summer Foreign Country Travel Program, open to all grades; daily physical exercise for all grades; and a technology lab open to all grades every day.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at (520) 792-3255. Thank you for your donation!

AZ Tax Credit Info

You probably know that all donations to TIA are tax-deductible because we are a non-profit corporation with a 501 C3 exemption. This relates to your Federal Income Tax. Note the word “deductible” speaks of a Federal Income Tax deduction. But there is another awesome way to donate to TIA and lower your tax obligation. It is called the Arizona Tax Credit Program. (Notice the word “Credit.”) You donate to TIA. You receive a credit for the total amount, up to specified limits. This lowers your AZ Income Tax obligation by that amount. You win. TIA wins.

The limits: The Arizona Tax Credit Program allows Arizona taxpayers to contribute up to $200 for individuals and up to $400 for married couples (filing jointly) for the support of extracurricular activities at a public/charter school of their choice and receive a dollar for dollar tax credit on their Arizona state income tax.

Q: What Do I Have To Do To Qualify For This Credit?

In the past, you had to file by December 31. But now, if you contribute to Tucson International Academy by April 15, you may apply the donation for your next year’s taxes. The school will mail you a receipt with the school’s tax code to verify your contribution. Then, when you file your state tax return you may deduct the amount you contributed.

Q: What If I Owe the State at Tax Time?

If you owe the state money, you will owe less by the amount you contributed.

Q: Who Can Contribute?

Any individual filing an Arizona state tax return.

Q: Is a Charter School Considered To Be a Public School?

YES. A charter school is defined in ARS 15-101 as a public school. Therefore, contributions to a charter school in support of extracurricular activities are eligible for the tax credit.

Q: Must a Taxpayer Have a Child At TIA In Order to Claim This Credit?

No.

Q: Can I Split The Money Between Schools?

Yes.
