Tax Credits

We love tax credits! The AZ Tax Credit Form is available here. You can give up to $400 if filing jointly, or up to $200 for single or head of household. Bring your donation to the Bookstore before CDS Winter Break. Mail-in donations must be postmarked by December 31st. Make sure you specify that you are designating the Corona del Sol High School Band. Ask any relatives, friends or neighbors who don’t have kids if they would be willing to give their tax credit money to the CdS band. The State will credit you back at Tax time. Net out of pocket: $0 after tax reimbursement. Also, ask your employer if they have a volunteer matching program. Mailers will be made available for each band student. These include more information and a tax credit deposit form. These also include a pre-addressed envelope to the CdS Bookstore Manager and a return envelope to be mailed back to you with your receipt (required for filing with your tax return). Standard tax credits can be used to benefit a particular student. Here’s what you need to do:

1) Fill out the form. Designate the Corona del Sol High School Band Program

2) Write your check for $400 made out to “Corona del Sol High School.”

3) Mail your materials postmarked by December 31st. Please remember to place a stamp on your return envelope for a receipt. You can also pick up a receipt from the bookstore.
