TAX CREDIT GIVING GUIDE | FRONTDOORS MEDIA 9 • Private School Tuition Organizations for Corporations: C-Corporations, S-Corporations, LLCs and insurance companies can qualify for two types of credits. The first one is the Corporate Contributions to School Tuition Organizations, which supports low-income students in private schools. The full name of the second credit is Corporate Contributions to School Tuition Organizations for Displaced Students or Students with Disabilities. Arizona law allows contributions to be counted for the 2024 tax year all the way up to April 15, 2025. Brenda Blunt, a partner with Eide Bailly LLP, said that other than the dollar amounts, there have been no major changes this tax year to what’s become an increasingly popular way to give back. “It remains a great way to support schools, access to private schools and charities serving our neediest populations in a tax-efficient way,” she said. “I work with a number of private schools that have been able to attract a greater diversity of students, enriching the education process of all their students. I also work with numerous charities that are able to expand their programs to help people enjoy a full and productive life because of the tax credit dollars they attract.” Photo courtesy of Keys to Change
