  • A single individual can redirect up to $1,000 of his or her income tax payments to GA DOR through GASSO.

  • An individual who is a member of a limited liability company, shareholder of an "S" Corporation, or partner in a partnership (pass-through entities) is allowed a Georgia income tax credit for up to $10,000 of the amount they contribute to a SSO (GASSO), so long as they would have paid Georgia income tax in that amount on their share of taxable income from the pass-through entity. 

  • Corporations can receive a tax credit for amounts contributed to the SSO Scholarship Program and many corporations have done so. For "C" corporations, the tax credit is available up to 75% of their annual Georgia income tax liability.

  3. Taxpayer Makes Payment to the SSO (GASSO): When notified of DOR approval (by DOR Approval Letter or email from the SSO), taxpayer must submit payment to GASSO before his or her 60-day payment deadline.
