What is the Individual Private School Tuition Tax Credit?
The Individual Income Tax Credit Program encourages Arizona Income Taxpayers to get directly involved in improving education in Arizona by re-directing their state income tax to organizations like AZTO that provide educational grants to participating private school students. Individuals are entitled to a 100% dollar-for-dollar credit against their Arizona income tax owed, up to $1,000 per married couple or $500 per single person. AZTO then disburses tuition awards to students at participating private schools in Arizona. This tax credit program is regulated under ARS 43-1089.
