EITC - Educational Improvement Tax Credit
EITC - Educational Improvement Tax Credit

               Em 2001, a Commonwealth of Pennsylvania estabeleceu o Educational Improvement Tax Credit Act (EITC). Este programa permite que VOCÊ (indivíduos e empresas) doe a mesma quantia que você paga em impostos de renda estaduais para a escola cristã de sua escolha, e o governo estadual devolverá 90% de sua doação por meio de um crédito fiscal ou reembolso.

               É simples. Preencha um formulário de ‘Joinder’ de uma página, contribua com um mínimo de $ 500 adiantados e envie o formulário e seu cheque para a escola de sua escolha. A escola enviará os documentos para a Scholarship Organization (SPE). Após o processamento, você receberá um formulário PA K-1, que pode ser usado durante a próxima temporada de impostos para receber um reembolso de 90% de sua contribuição inicial.

               Por exemplo, quando você contribui com um mínimo de $ 500, a doação vai diretamente para a mensalidade do aluno. O programa EITC concede a você um crédito fiscal de $ 450, resultando em uma despesa de $ 50 do próprio bolso. Por $ 50, você fez uma doação de $ 500 para ajudar uma criança! Aqui está a melhor parte, um aluno agora receberá uma educação cristã de qualidade com pouco custo para sua família

               Parece bom demais para ser verdade – um benefício real do governo sem amarras. A verdade é que o programa EITC é uma maneira simples, única e eficaz de criar mudanças significativas com pouco impacto em suas finanças. Na verdade, são centavos por dólar.

            Por meio deste programa, você está simplesmente direcionando uma parte dos impostos que já pagou para os estudantes, investindo assim em um futuro melhor para nossos jovens.

               É importante que você revise seus impostos estaduais do ano passado e os discuta com seu preparador de impostos ou CPA para determinar quais serão seus impostos estaduais. Esta etapa ajudará você a identificar o valor exato que você realmente quer doar.

               Se você decidir exceder esse valor, o restante do seu crédito tributário poderá ser adicionado à sua dedução detalhada do imposto de renda federal.

               Agora, você tem o poder de fazer a diferença e, juntos, podemos ajudar a remodelar o cenário da educação hoje.
