Scottsdale Unified School District: Scottsdale Living & LEARNING Winter 2007

'Twas the night before the New Year,
And all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even the computer mouse.

Preparations are made to bring in the New Year,
When suddenly you remember
Tax credit time is here!

You run to your computer,
With a mad dash,
To make your tax credit contribution,
To SUSD with a flash.

Dollar for dollar, tax credit is applied each year,
Your donation costs you nothing but
Will bring our students, athletes and other programs great cheer.

So as the end of the year draws out of sight,
Remember, donate tax credit,
To help SUSD's future stay bright!

A win, win situation! Arizona law allows taxpayers to receive a tax credit of up to $200 for individual filers and up to $400 for married filers. You can claim the tax credit when filing your 2007 Arizona State Income Tax. The school must receive the funds by December 31, 2007.
