The Private School Tuition Tax Credit was signed into law in May 2008.  It provides significant state tax incentives for donations to private schools.  There are similar programs in Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island.  Maximum annual tax credits are $1000 for singles, $2500 for couples, and 75% of GA state tax liability for corporations.

Here is a simple two-page summary of this program.

The Center for an Educated Georgia provides a good overview of the Private School Tuition Tax Credit on its website.

The Georgia Department of Education has a section of its website set up for the Private School Tuition Tax Credit.  It contains a lot of helpful information, including a copy of the law and an overview for donors and parents.

Saint Simons Christian School is working with the Georgia Student Scholarship Organization (GASSO).
