Participate in the Arizona private school tuition tax credit program – support the Jewish Community Day School Scholarship Fund – maximum of $1,000 for a married couple and $500 for singles.  We need the entire community to support the program!  You don’t have to have children and you don’t have to be Jewish to participate.  The Arizona tax credit program is a dollar for dollar credit against your state taxes – much better than a deduction!  There is no minimum support, every dollar helps these causes.  You can pay it over the course of the year, it does not have to be in one payment!  Check or credit card – deadline December 31st.  Contact www.jewishtaxcredit.org, jewishtaxcredit@bjephoenix.org or 480-634-8050 ext. 1302 for more information.  In addition, you can support the Arizona tax credit for the working poor through the Jewish Free Loan, Jewish Family & Children Services or Kivel by giving up to the maximum of $400 per couple or $200 for an individual.  These same amounts apply to the public school tax credit.  Please note that you can participate in all 3 tax credit programs every year!
