Tax Credit

You can support Camelback High School and public school education in Arizona with your tax dollars. If you pay taxes in the state of Arizona you can write a check for any amount up to $200 for single filers and $400 for joint filers and get the money back as a tax credit when you file your tax return.

You do not have to be a parent of a current Camelback student or live in the district to take advantage of the credit. Alumni, parents, grandparents, friends, and business associates can all be encouraged to support our schools. The use of the dollars collected through this program is strictly controlled by state law and the funds will be spent on extracurricular activities such as tutoring, field trips, the arts, music and athletic programs. The Camelback Alumni Association believes that this is a program worthy of your support. Please act promptly. Your checks and the attached form need to be postmarked by December 31, 2011. This program can make a huge difference in the education that our children receive.

TAKE SOME CREDIT- ALUMNI CAN HELP CAMELBACK HIGH SCHOOL !

Did you know state law (A.R.S. 43-1089.01) allows you to get a tax credit when you pay up to $200 for single filers and $400 married filers to a public school for extracurricular activities that require an enrolled student to pay a fee? This means taxpayers may help Camelback High School and the Phoenix Union High School District -- not the state treasury -- and reduce their state tax bill at the same time.

How is the money used?

• Tutoring for students

• Field trips to fine arts events, museums, the zoo, science centers and more.
• Overnight trips for the fine arts programs, science programs, etc.
• Athletic programs such as football, volleyball, softball, track, basketball, etc.

Who can take advantage of this opportunity?

• Anyone who pays Arizona State income tax can do this.

How can I help a school at no cost to me?

• Send completed the form below with your check to Camelback High School.

• Must be postmarked by December 31, 2011.
• The school will issue a tax credit receipt to you.
• Claim the tax credit when filing your 2011 Arizona State Income Tax.

ALUMNI, IF YOU MUST PAY AZ TAXES, WHY NOT HELP CAMELBACK STUDENTS AT THE SAME TIME?
