Individual Tax Credit Program

The Arizona tax credit for private school education allows taxpayers to redirect their Arizona income tax to Brophy Community Foundation (a *certified school tuition organization) and receive a dollar-for-dollar income tax credit from the state. This credit is claimed when the taxpayer files their Arizona income tax return.

The Arizona Department of Revenue (AZDOR) adjusts the maximum allowable tax credit contribution for individual taxpayers each year.

How to claim your tax Credit

* A “school tuition organization” (STO) is a 501(c)(3) organization certified by AZDOR to receive individual tax credit contributions. STOs must allocate at least 90% of their annual contributions to tuition aid scholarships or grants. They must also make their tuition aid scholarships or grants available to students of more than one qualified school.
