Your Arizona school tax credit makes the most of your money and helps our students grow
Posted Date: 12/17/25 (05:00 PM)
Through Arizona's Public School Tax Credit, you can support the extracurricular activities that help our students grow, and receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit when you file your Arizona state income taxes.
A tax credit is a full refund of what you owe in state taxes, dollar-for-dollar.
Your contribution directly supports qualifying fee-based extracurricular activities* at CFSD schools, the programs that charge participation fees, including sports teams, clubs, arts programs, and other activities that enrich our students' education.
Here's how it works:
Make a contribution of up to $400 (married filing jointly), $200 (single filers), or $200 each (married filing separately) to CFSD extracurricular programs.
Important timing:
- Contributions made by December 31, 2025, can be claimed on your 2025 tax return
- Contributions made January 1 - April 15, 2026, can be claimed on either your 2025 or 2026 tax return (your choice)
