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.

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
