Georgia Tax Credit Program
IT'S YOUR CHOICE!
You can decide how your state tax dollars are spent! Anyone who pays Georgia state income tax may be eligible for this tax credit. Georgia taxpayers can redirect a portion of their state tax dollars to provide scholarships to new as well as existing students who have qualified for these need-based scholarships. (Please note that money cannot be designated for a specific student.)
Taxpayers can redirect tax dollars based on the following:
- Married filing jointly: up to $2,500 per tax year
- Married filing separately: up to $1,250 per tax year
- Single or Head of Household: up to $1,000 per tax year
- C Corporations: up to %75 of their total liability
ACT NOW!
Less than $53 million in tax credits are available to Georgia taxpayers wishing to participate in this scholarship program for 2013. The Department of Revenue is anticipating that the funds will be used up early in the year. Please do not miss the opportunity to participate for 2013. Act now!
By helping to provide scholarships to Christian Heritage School students through Faith First Georgia, you will not only provide an opportunity for a student to receive an excellent, Christ-centered education, you will also receive 100% of your donation back as a credit on your Georgia taxes!
