Legal Documents for Graduating Seniors

Chandler School Boosters has partnered with Keystone Law Firm, in preparing legal documents for parents of graduating seniors. Once a child turns 18, parents no longer have “rights” to make legal decisions for their kids or receive private information, such as health care information, without the child’s permission. The typical cost in preparing these documents can be upwards of $495. Keystone is offering their services to prepare and file the documents for just $35 per student.

Tax Credit Basics…

A tax credit donation is a full refund, not a deduction. Contributions eligible for a tax credit are donated directly to schools, not to the state or school district. To participate or learn more, follow the link listed below to donate online or you can complete the enclosed form and submit your contribution at your convenience.

http://www.cusd80.com/taxcredit

Arizona Law ARS 43-1089.01 enables taxpayers a tax credit contribution of up to $400.00 per year if filing status is “Married, filing Joint Return;” $200.00 per calendar year if filing status is “Single of Head of Household;” and $200 per calendar year if filing status is “Married filing separate returns.” These contributions fund extracurricular activities in public schools and greatly impact our school community and our students.
