See our the video below featuring four CPAs discussing the 75% STO tax credit as a strategy to lower Iowa income tax liability

The Iowa Education Opportunities Act of 2006 established the School Tuition Organization (STO) program and the STO tax credit program to help non-public school families and taxpayers. 

• Donors receive a 75% non-refundable Iowa income tax credit and can claim 25% of their charitable contribution on their federal income tax as an itemized deduction.
• The STO credit reduces the liability subject to the surtax for taxpayers living in a school district that charges a surtax.
• Donations can be made using cash, through the transfer of appreciated stocks,  or contributions of grain are also accepted.
• Income-qualifying families benefit by receiving tuition assistance to attend our Archdiocesan catholic schools.
