Have you heard of Pa's Educational Improvement Tax Credits?

 

什么是PA教育税收抵免?

​

These are tax credits that allow you to redirect your PA state income tax liability to scholarships that benefit qualifying children. If you choose to participate in the program and direct your credits to PG电子游戏 (PG电子游戏) those dollars will help fund the tuition assistance offered to many PG电子游戏 families. 

 

谁可以参加?

​

• Pass-through entities, such as S-Corporations, 伙伴关系s, 有限责任公司s, 律师事务所s, C-Corporations

• 符合条件的人

• Sole proprietorships are not eligible to participate in the programs

 

In the past, only certain business entity types could take advantage of this opportunity. Recently the Pa Legislature passed a bill that allows qualifying individuals to participate in the program through what is known as a Special Purpose Entity (SPE). 

 

     加入SPE的资格:

• Legal entities and individuals (including spouses) who are owners or employees of a for profit 有限责任公司, 伙伴关系, 或公司.

​

我怎样申请这个学分?

• 有两种方法:

选项1: Complete a PA Department of Community and 经济发展 (DCED) application: A business that is an S-Corporation, 伙伴关系, 有限责任公司, 律师事务所, or C-Corporation can apply directly for the credits by completing and submitting an application to the PA Department of Community and 经济发展 (DCED). 

​

通常，申请流程将打开 7月1日 for new participants, and repeat businesses that have previously made a 1 year commitment. As awarding of credits is limited and available on a first-come basis it is key to submit your application on the day the process opens.

​

按此进入 PA社区学系 & 经济发展.

​

选项2:加入特殊目的实体; 符合条件的人 apply for the credit through a Special Purpose Entity (SPE). Qualifying businesses can also choose to apply for the credit through an SPE. As the application date for participation in SPEs varies you should check with your SPE of choice for their specific application criteria.
