ARIZONA SCHOOL TAX CREDIT DONATIONS
Your donation benefits MUSD students
Arizona law (A.R.S. 43-1089.01) allows taxpayers to receive a tax credit of up to $200 for a single individual or a head of household and $400 for a married couple filing a joint return for donations that benefit students in our public schools.  That's not just a deduction, it's a tax credit - it reduces what you owe in state taxes, dollar-for-dollar. 

Make your donation online or send your donation in person to the Marana Unified School District, earmarked for support of one of our many qualifying extracurricular activities. We'll send you a receipt for your records. Then, when you fill out your 2011 Arizona state taxes, you can subtract your donation - up to $400 - from what you owe in taxes.

Who can benefit from this law?
All Arizona tax payers are eligible: you do not have to have children within the school district to benefit from this law.

What Qualifies?
By law, only donations to extracurricular activities that charge a fee, such as tutoring, athletics, band, orchestra, field trips, special programs and more qualify for the tax credit.  Donations must be made to the school district, but directed toward a specific activity at a specific school.

Donations can be designated in multiple ways:
  • Designated for a specific child’s participation in an extracurricular activity OR
  • Designated for a specific school(s) OR 
  • Designated for a specific program(s) OR 
  • Designated to be directed to the school(s) that has the greatest need.
