As a taxpayer in the state of Georgia, did you know you have the ability to impact the boys and girls at Eagle Ranch through the Georgia Education Expense Tax Credit program? Since 2008, it has allowed individual, limited liability and corporate taxpayers in the state of Georgia to prepay and redirect a portion of their annual Georgia tax obligation to an independent school of their choice, such as Eagle Ranch. The tax credits are as follows:
The redirected and pre-paid portion of the Georgia tax obligation is submitted to a Student Scholarship Organization (SSO) that, in turn, remits the funds to Eagle Ranch. These funds provide financial assistance to the boys and girls at Eagle Ranch School. Our SSO of choice is the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program, Inc. (GOAL).
The online portal to reserve your 2022 dollar-for-dollar tax credit through GOAL is now open. No payment is necessary to complete the form (payment is not due until early 2022). The deadline to reserve your spot is December 30th – don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity!
The secure online process takes about 3 minutes to complete and can be done in 3 easy steps:
In January 2022, you will receive a notice from GOAL letting you know how much funding was approved by the state of Georgia and what amount you are eligible to contribute. You will then be given a deadline to submit your contribution, which can be easily done on GOAL’s secure website. Once your payment has been received, GOAL will send you a confirmation of your tax credit for your records and to share with your tax preparer.
