The State of Arizona recently announced the corporate donation cap for the private school tax credit programs.  The 2023-2024 Fiscal Year Cap is approximately $158 Million for the low-income corporate tax credit and $6 Million for the Disabled/Displaced corporate tax credit.

This program allows C or S corporations to designate funds to assist Low Income, Disabled/Displaced students or students with other factors to attend the right private school for their needs.

• The Corporate application for this credit opens on July 3, 2023, and is allocated based on a first-come-first-serve basis.Once the fiscal year cap is met, donation applications are no longer available until the next fiscal year.
• The minimum contribution must be $5,000 and can be up to the amount of their state income tax liability as long as it does not exceed the statewide cap for the year.An S Corporation does not need a tax liability to pass the credit on to shareholders.
• These donations become a 100% dollar-for-dollar reduction of the Corporation’s Arizona Income Tax.For S Corporations, this credit is passed through to the shareholders proportionately to reduce their AZ individual income tax.
