Georgia

Does your company owe Georgia state income or insurance premium taxes? Did you know you can easily transform those taxes into state-approved Tax Credits which are then used to fund scholarships for low-income Georgia students who are seeking high-quality k-12 education options?

AAA Scholarship Foundation is a state-approved administrator of Georgia QEE Tax Credits. This is one of five innovative AAA Tax Credit Programs that uses the proceeds of the tax credits to fund educational scholarships for eligible low-income children (up to grade 12).

This AAA Tax Credit Program allows you to redirect up to 75% of your company’s Georgia state income or insurance premium taxes (taxes your company already owes) to AAA – and receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit in return!

For 2025, $120 million of tax credits became available on the first business day of January and were fully subscribed on the first day! We are beyond grateful to all of our donors who redirected their Georgia tax liability to the AAA Scholarship Foundation allowing us to distribute K-12 education scholarships for low-income children to attend the school that best meets their individual learning needs. The next window for applications will open on January 1, 2026.

How does it work?

1. Apply: We will provide you with a link to a short tax credit application to complete. We will then submit it on your behalf to the GA DOR.
2. Approve: The GA DOR will process your request and provide an approval letter to both you and us. We will then send you a an invoice containing our remittance information.
3. Earn: Your company will have 60 days to remit payment to AAA in order to earn your approved tax credits.
4. Claim: Your company will claim your earned tax credits on your next Georgia income or insurance premium tax return.

When can I apply?

We will start accepting applications for 2026 tax credits towards the end of the year. Each annual Georgia tax credit application season (the “cap year”) opens on the first business day of January. We are allowed to begin submitting the tax credit applications we’ve collected to the GA DOR on that day. Historically, the credits are claimed on the first day, so be sure to act quickly as the application window nears. The cap year will end when all of the credits are claimed, or December 31st, whichever occurs first. Please contact our office for a link to the tax credit application.

How much is available?

For 2025, $120 million of credits became available on the first business day of January and were quickly taken. Please check back in the fall for information regarding the 2026 cap year.
