What is a tax credit?
A tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in your Arizona
income tax liability. In other words, you subtract the amount of
your contribution to your Pointe School as a direct credit against
the amount of tax liability. For example, suppose you are
married and filing jointly and owe $1,000 in state income taxes.
When you donate $400 to a Pointe School, you receive a credit
for that exact amount on your Arizona income tax return. As a
result, you will only owe the state $600 on your return.
Is it a tax deduction?
No. You receive a tax credit on your Arizona income tax return
for your contribution. A tax credit is much more valuable to you
