Redirect Your Tax Dollars to CCS
-
Under this law, every Georgia taxpayer has the option to redirect a portion of their Georgia income tax liability to a Student Scholarship Program (SSO) to provide financial aid assistance to a private school of their choice.
-
Participants will receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on their Georgia income taxes and a charitable deduction on their federal income taxes for the amount donated. See chart below for tax credit amounts allowed.
-
Even with the increase in the tax cap, it is expected that it will be met in January 2019. Registration for 2019 is now open.
For Individuals: |
A single individual or a head of household will receive a credit against their Georgia Income tax liability in an amount equal to the actual amount expended or $1,000 per tax year, whichever is less. |
If you are Married Filing Jointly: |
The amount of the tax credit is equal to the actual amount expended or $2,500 per tax year, whichever is less. |
If you are a Corporate Donor: |
State income tax credit limit up to 75% of a C-corporation’s income tax liability or the actual amount donated, whichever is less. For “S” corporations, LLCs and Partnerships, or for anyone who receives income through a pass-through entity, the amount of the tax credit is equal to the actual amount expended or $10,000, per individual, per tax year, whichever is less. |

Checks should be made payable to the Apogee Scholarship Fund.
Your participation in the Georgia Private School Tax Credit Program benefits Covenant Christian School but is not considered a donation to the Annual Fund. For the tax credit contribution, you will receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit when you file your Georgia state income tax forms for the year of the credit, as well as a charitable tax contribution to Apogee, when you file your federal income taxes. Your support of both programs helps Covenant Christian School meet its financial obligations.
