If you could send your child to private school for free, would you?
I asked a friend that question over a bowl of Sushi and when it took him too long to answer, I lifted my eyes from the succulent salmon and tuna on rice to see his face twisted in thought. His answer surprised me…
“No. I don’t think so.”
What if I told you that public schools cost more than private schools? For many, perception is reality and in the present age of Obama, class warfare is in full bloom. HOWEVER, once my friend gave my questions some thought he changed his mind.
Well, guess what? You can!
Arizona is one of three states in the country where you, the parent of children in Arizona, can benefit from a tuition tax credit to fund private school education; and you, the taxpayer, can help fund the children of Arizona’s private education through a tax credit.
The cost of education per student is considerably less in private schools than it is in public schools, and the quality of education is superior, especially in urban areas. This is why the state of Arizona is supportive of this tax credit. It costs the state less per student to fund private education than public! And because it is a TAX CREDIT, your state tax liability (up to $2006 for joint filers) once directed to a private school or student attending a private school, returns to you in the form of a refund.
