school for extracurricular activities, you may subtract the $400
from your tax bill and pay the state just $400.

individual can contribute and receive a tax credit for any amount
up to $200, or a couple filing jointly can contribute up to
$400.
How do I make sure my payment is used for
the tax credit? When you pay your fees for
swimming, the payment goes to the accounting department that
collects ECA donations. You do not need to fill out any other
forms. Your payment is automatically applied to your tax
credit account.

Schools District? No, Any individual who pays
Arizona State income tax can donate.
Can others (besides the parent/guardian)
pay the fees and still use the tax credit?

friends, etc.) can pay the fees and receive the tax
credit
