Tax Credit Information
Donate to Your School
Impact the Lives of DVUSD Students
You Choose the School!
Your school tax credit donations can provide DVUSD students with opportunities to participate in after-school and summer programs, field trips, music and athletic programs or any other extracurricular activity.
The Arizona tax credit program (A.R.S. 43-1089.01) allows a tax credit of up to $200 for individuals and up to $400 for married couples, filing jointly, in support of extracurricular activities.
The tax credit reduces your tax burden to the state of Arizona, dollar for dollar.
2 WAYS TO MAKE YOUR TAX CREDIT DONATION:
K-8 & High School Online Donations
MAIL or DROP OFF to the School of Your Choice: DVUSD 2023-24 School Address List
Forms can be downloaded here, and checks can be mailed to the school of your choice. Your tax credit receipt will be mailed back to you. Your tax credit goes directly to the school you choose, not to the state or district.

Important Information to Know:
What are qualified activities or qualified programs for the purpose of the public school credit?
For the purpose of the public school credit, qualified activities and qualified programs include any of the following:
- Extracurricular activities
- Character education programs
- Standardized testing fees for college credit or readiness offered by a widely recognized and accepted educational testing organization
- Preparation courses and materials for standardized testing
Do I qualify for the credit if I make a contribution or pay fees to an organization (e.g., PTA, school foundation, or school club) which then gives the funds in a lump sum to the school or directly pays for qualified activities or qualified programs?
No. A.R.S. § 43-1089.01 requires that the contributions be made and that fees be paid “to a public school.” Therefore, the payment must be made directly to the public school or district only.
Must the credit for contributions made or fees paid to a public school be claimed in the year of donation?
No, beginning in 2016, credit eligible fees paid and contributions made to a public school from January 1 through April 15 of a calendar year may be used as a tax credit on the prior year’s tax return. For example, qualifying contributions made to a public school from January 1, 2022, to April 15, 2023, may be used as a tax credit on either your 2022 or 2023 Arizona income tax return.
