"BONUS" FOR AMT TAX PAYERS
For taxpayers in AMT (Alternative Minimum Tax), by redirecting your tax dollars to our scholarship fund, you are converting a state income tax deduction (which is added back and subject to AMT tax) to a charitable donation (which is exempt from AMT).
$1,000 donation = $1,000 tax credit + $280 AMT savings
$2,500 donation = $2,500 tax credit + $700 AMT savings
Amounts redirected to the Scholarship Fund or School Fund will receive a Federal charitable contribution deduction.
Electronic filing of a state individual income tax return is now available for taxpayers claiming this state credit.
