HI Friends and family,
We created this blog to help keep those of you who have given so faithfully to ACSTO over the years updated on how the kids are doing.
For those of you who haven't heard us go on an on about this already, ACSTO stands for Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization and has just been an unbelievable blessing to us by allowing the opportunity to send our kids to private school. In short, Arizona has a law that a married couple can give up to a 1000 and a single person can give up to 500 to a tuition organization and get a full tax credit back on taxes owed to the State. You can donate online and research more about this at http://www.acsto.com/.
Angie and I both had the privilege of going to Christian schools and felt it was a benefit to us in life. We have from the beginning of our marriage wanted the same for our kids. We have been blessed thus far to be able to give them this but with even better schools and teachers than both Angie and I ever would have imagined. Thanks for visiting. We’ll update periodically with new pictures and updates about the kids.
SUPPORT A STUDENT AT NO COST TO YOU!!!
We are truly grateful our children have been able to receive a Christ-centered education because of generous Arizona state tax payers who direct their state income taxes to support education.
As a tax a payer, you will receive a dollar-for-dollar state tax credit for every dollar contributed to our much needed funding (up to $500 for singles, and $1000 if married filing jointly). This also qualifies as a charitable deduction on your Federal Income Tax Return.
The following examples illustrate how the Arizona Tuition Tax Credit works, and why your tax credit contributions can help our family…at no cost to you!
· Most people have taxes deducted through payroll deductions. Anything paid to the State over and above taxes owed will increase the size your tax return.
· The program works in addition to the public school extracurricular activities and work poor tax credit.
· The law changed this year allowing you up to April 15th to donate for the 2010 tax year. I recommend determining your tax liability and to see what the actual and maximum benefit to you will be and donating just prior to doing your taxes. Let me know if you need a reminder phone call at a certain date!
To help, all you need to do is the following:
1. Determine the amount of tax dollars you want to redirect.
2. Fill out the attached form and recommend one of our children for a scholarship
Caleb, Josiah, Elaina, or Abner Ingegneri at Gilbert Christian School
3. Claim on your tax return!
ACSTO will mail you a receipt documenting the amount you gave. If you have further questions, you may reach us at 480-495-3501. We appreciate your consideration in supporting our family and Christian education. For more information about the statute you can also visit http://www.acsto.com/.
