Did you know that Arizona allows individuals to recommend a portion of their state tax liabilities to fund Arete athletics and enrichment courses? Participants then receive a dollar-for-dollar credit on their state taxes! This means that if you pay taxes in the State of Arizona, you can tell the state to send some of your tax dollars to Arete Prep, instead of to the general state fund. If you pay taxes in Arizona (most of us), you should take this opportunity and support your child’s school and its programs! You will get that money back as either a reduction on what you owe or an increased refund (i.e. if you owe $500 in taxes and redirect $400 to Arete ($500-$400=$100), instead of owing the state $400, you now only owe $100 since you’ve already directed some of your tax liability to the school.) Please follow the steps below to take the credit if you haven’t already; Arete relies on these credits to offer comprehensive extracurriculars on our campus .
Congratulations to the Johnson Family (Sophia ’24, Arianna ’24) for being drawn as this week’s Tax Credit Tuesday winners! They have won gift cards to Joyride Taco in downtown Gilbert. We have some more great incentives coming up, so contribute your family’s, neighbor’s, and relative’s state tax credit to be eligible to win next week.
Redirect your state tax dollars to Arete Prep and directly fund our Athletics and Extracurriculars. We are at 53% of our goal. Remember to designate your tax credit BEFORE you file!
Also, look at that sweet future Prep Charger!
