How do the education tax credits work?
Per the Arizona Department of Revenue, an individual may claim a nonrefundable tax credit for making contributions or paying fees directly to a public school in this state for support of eligible activities, programs or purposes as defined by statute.
For the purpose of claiming Arizona’s tax credit for contributions made or certain fees paid to a public school, the Arizona Department of Revenue now requires taxpayers report the school’s nine-digit CTDS number on Form 322, which is included with the Arizona income tax return. CTDS stands for County code, Type code, and District code and Site number.
All Arizona public and charter schools qualify for this credit.

Private School Tuition and School Tuition Organizations
How do the education tax credits work?
Per the Arizona Department of Revenue, an individual may claim a nonrefundable tax credit for contributions to Arizona State Certified Private School Tuition Organizations that provide tuition scholarships to students attending K-12 Arizona private schools.
Individual taxpayers (single, head of household and married filing separately) will claim the first $731 of their donations on Form 323. Once that contribution is made, taxpayers are eligible to also give to the School Tuition Organization Tax Credit, up to $728 for individuals, using form 348.
Married taxpayers filing jointly will claim the first $1,459 of their donations on Form 323. Once that contribution is made, married taxpayers may claim the School Tuition Organization Tax Credit for another $1,451 on Form 348.
Arizona corporations and insurance companies who pay premium taxes in Arizona are also eligible to make School Tuition Organization Tax Credit donations. Contact your preferred School Tuition Organization for more information.
Notice: A school tuition organization cannot award, restrict or reserve scholarships solely on the basis of a donor recommendation. A taxpayer may not claim a tax credit if the taxpayer agrees to swap donations with another taxpayer to benefit either taxpayer’s own dependent.
Academic Opportunity of Arizona
We’re on a mission to provide life-changing opportunities for children with disabilities and low-income hardships throughout Arizona.
Academic Opportunity of Arizona provides educational funding to qualifying children attending more than 85 private schools across the state. They prioritize disabled students, those living with low-income hardships and recommendations from donors like you. Partnerships with Special Olympics Arizona and the Arizona Science Center allow AOA to extend support outside of the classroom with their AOA360 program. When you donate to AOA, you receive the dollar-for-dollar credit, but most importantly, you nurture student potential and help create a brighter future for all of Arizona.

All Saints’ Episcopal Day School
Established in 1963, All Saints’ Episcopal Day School is an independent pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade school centered on educating children — mind, body and soul — in a nurturing community.
At All Saints’, we believe a child’s socioeconomic status should not determine their access to top-quality education. We are deeply committed to providing families across the socioeconomic spectrum access to our exceptional education. One in four All Saints’ students receives support through our Indexed Tuition Program or other programs. All Saints’ partners with the Arizona Episcopal Schools Foundation (AESF) to continue our legacy of inclusivity and provide opportunities for all students. Tax credits directly support our Indexed Tuition Program, which allows families to pay tuition based on their unique circumstances and financial resources.
