Ohioans are eligible to donate $750 (or $1500 for those who are married and filing jointly) to a scholarship-granting organization that will provide a tax credit to you based on your tax liability. While you cannot claim more than your total tax liability, as long as you owe at least $750 (or $1500 if married) on your Ohio taxes, you can donate up to the full amount and receive an equivalent amount as a credit on your State of Ohio tax return.
Your tax refund can quickly offset your gift amount if you donate before filing your taxes by April 15th! Consult your tax advisor on specific situations and remember to claim the credit when filing your taxes. Also, if married and filing jointly, please submit two separate donations.
