Receive a State Tax Credit and
Direct your Illinois State Tax Dollars to Help Families Attend CHA

How The Process Works:

  • Set up a “My Tax Illinois” account. The State of Illinois will send you confirmation of your account in 7-10 days.
  • Once confirmation is received, you will be able to request a tax credit authorization in the amount that fits your circumstances.  This might be $100, $1000, or even $10,000 (this authorization is usually issued almost immediately).
  • Send a check for your credit amount to the Children’s Tuition Fund at the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI)
  • ACSI will distribute money for scholarships to the school that you selected.
  • Claim your credit, which will equal 75% of your contribution, on your Illinois state tax return.
ACTION STEPS:
  1.  REGISTER for a myTaxID account from the State of Illinois to activate your MyTax Illinois account and receive a letter ID.
  2.  After receiving your Letter ID and activating your account, RESERVE your tax contribution credits on MyTax Illinois.
  3.  After receiving your tax credit confirmation, CONTRIBUTE to the Children’s Tuition Fund of Illinois (ACSI’s Scholarship Granting Organization) and designate Christian Heritage Academy as your selected school.
