Talk to your employer about receiving state tax credits for contributions to the JASP supporting our Japan in the Schools program. Tax credits can be more attractive than a standard charitable donation because they reduce your actual tax bill, dollar-for-dollar, not just your taxable income. Tax credits are utilized AFTER your tax liability is established.

• Follow the detailed instructions on this PDF to apply, or visit the EITC website for more information.
• Upon approval, make the company's donation to the JASP.
• Receive a credit to offset business tax liability equal to 75% of the contribution for one year, or a credit equal to 90% of the contribution if company commits for two years (annual maximum of $300,000)
• Entire contribution may be deducted 100% against federal net income, allowing the donation to cost the business nothing.

EITC participation can offset Personal Income Tax of S-corporation shareholders, partnerships and limited liability company members. Whether you work for a major corporation or your own small business, "pass-through" entities can receive the credit.
