What is the GA Private School Tax Credit?
This tax credit was passed into law in July, 2008. Atlanta Speech School is excited about the law as it has financial benefits both for you and Atlanta Speech School. The state has set aside $50 million in available credits each year, distributed on a first come first served basis.
How can this tax credit benefit both the Atlanta Speech School and me?
Under this law, you can redirect a portion of your Georgia income tax liability to provide scholarship assistance to incoming Atlanta Speech School students that are currently enrolled in public school. You will receive a tax credit on your state income taxes and a charitable contribution deduction on your federal incomes taxes for the amount donated. For married couples filing jointly, the maximum tax credit-eligible contribution is $2,500 ($1,000 as an individual). Corporations can donate up to 75% of their tax liability.
How it works?
We have partnered with Apogee Georgia School Choice Scholarship Fund again, a state approved Student Scholarship Organization (SSO), to enable the Atlanta Speech School community to take advantage of this program. With a donation to the Apogee Georgia School Choice Scholarship fund, a Georgia state income tax credit is available to you for the tax year the donation is made. Your donation can be used as a charitable contribution deduction on your Federal tax return.
Who qualifies for the scholarship?
A Georgia resident enrolled in secondary or primary public school or eligible to enroll in a qualified kindergarten program or pre-kindergarten program.
