Corporate Tax Credit
Corporate donations are now being accepted by Yuma's Education Scholarship Fund for Kids, Inc. in accordance with the provisions of A.R.S. 43-1183. The Cap for the Fiscal Year 2009 is $17.28 million.
This credit is available to C Corporations. It is also available for S corporations if the S Corporation has liability. S corporations cannot pass this credit through to partners to be used on inidivdual income tax returns. The corporation can take the full state tax credit, but must check with it's accountant for the federal deduction amount.
A corporation may not recommend a specific student, but it can recommend a qualified private school. The Yes! Fund Board will review all qualified student applications and issue scholarships based on need and availability of funds.
