Tax Credit Time $ $ $ PARKING LOT BLITZ $ $ $ Tax Credit Time
To help parents become aware of how valuable Tax Credits are to Desert Trails, on Dec. 4 our School Council members will be doing a PARKING LOT BLITZ. Your council members will be introducing themselves to you and handing you a Tax Credit form and answering any questions you may have about Tax Credit!!! But, in a nut shell....
Do you pay Arizona State Income Taxes? Did you know you can REDIRECT money the State collects, directly to Desert Trails? Write us a check, complete the form, and INCREASE your REFUND! You may qualify to donate up to $400 (married couple filing jointly)! Tax Credit dollars support extracurricular activities such as field trips and clubs. Desert Trails' clubs like Tutoring Club, Homework Club, Science Club, Spanish Club, Reading Support Club, GenYes, Sports Club, and many more are offered at nominal fees because of our Tax Credit donations. Forms are available on our district web site http://cmweb.pvschools.net/siteweb/taxCreditInfo.htm. Get it in before our office closes on December 18th, or make sure it is post marked by December 31, 2009! THANK YOU!!!
