Use the Arizona Public School Tax Credit!

You can benefit yourself and Khalsa Montessori Students.

You can pay $400 ($200 if single) in state taxes to the Khalsa Montessori School in support of the Khalsa Elementary School Activity Fund. You need not be associated with the school to reap the benefits!

  (The tax credit form is in PDF format. Click here for help with opening and reading PDF documents.)

The state allows your family to gift up to $400 ($200 if single) to any Arizona public school Activity Fund and take the amount gifted directly off your state income taxes. As a state charter school, the Khalsa Montessori School (KMS) qualifies for this credit.

Where will the money go?

The money will be spent to expand special learning, creative, and physical education activities for Khalsa Montessori School children. In the past three years, the Khalsa Montessori Activity Fund has been used to purchase and maintain the school field trip van and purchase physical education equipment and art supplies. It has supported the improvement of the KMS playground, the building of two new art rooms, and increased the number of weekly classes offered in our Spanish and Yoga Health programs, and allowed us to offer Activity Fee discounts for low income families.

If I donate $400, can I actually save more than $400 by saving on both my state and my federal tax returns?

Yes, every dollar gifted is taken directly off your state income tax bill or refunded back to you if you do not owe additional taxes. Then, you may also deduct your tax-deductible donation on your federal tax return reducing your federal taxes. You do save more than you give!

What do I do to receive the Public School Tax Credit?

1. Print and fill out the Activity Fund Gift coupon and send your gift to the Khalsa Montessori School (2536 N. 3rd St., Phoenix, AZ 85004) before December 31st. The school will send you a receipt and will send a report to the state indicating your name, gift amount and social security number. (We must have your social security number to report your Activity Fund payments to the state.)
2. File Form 301 and Form 322 with your Arizona State income tax return indicating your donation. And, add your gift to the itemized deductions on your federal tax return.
