With the recent announcement from Governor Ducey’s office that our 2019 Arizona State Tax deadline has been extended to July 15, 2020, many Arizona taxpayers are wondering if this extends the deadline to make their tax credit donations.  We were informed Monday, March 23^rd, that this does NOT extend the tax credit donation deadline.  For any taxpayer who wants to direct their Arizona state tax liability to any of the four remaining tax credits allowed for 2019, they must make their donation on or before April 15, 2020. 

2019 Arizona Tax Credit Donation Deadline

–April 15, 2020

2019 Arizona State and Federal Tax Filing Deadline – July 15, 2020

This would include:  

Private School Tax Credits 

Public School Tax Credits

Charitable Organizations Tax Credits

Foster Care Tax Credit

These non-profit tax credit organizations exist to give our state’s most vulnerable population hope for their future.  During these extremely uncertain times, you can help ensure that our children are comforted in the knowledge that the world they are familiar with, whether it is their school, their home or their family, will remain constant for them. These four tax credit programs above can help to provide this comfort. 

The great news is you can make your tax credit donation today, and claim the credit when you file your Arizona state taxes. Our new donation page takes just a few minutes to complete and you can even pay with your credit card.   IBE will be here to help you navigate making your donation and getting your tax credit receipt. We are available via phone, email, or chat on our website. IBE will even be available through our website chat until midnight on April 15^th for your convenience.

You are making a difference in a child’s life, helping them thrive at one of our amazing Arizona private schools.  Most of the children we assist are from low-income families and they are counting on your help. 

Please follow IBE’s Facebook page to get the latest news and share our posts to help spread the message about the tax credit deadline.

I hope you will join IBE in helping Arizona children and families.

Thank you for putting our Arizona children first.
