Mandatory Georgia GOAL Forms:

Take credit for helping kids!

A 2008 law allows individuals and corporations to receive a Georgia income tax credit (and federal income tax deduction) for redirecting their state income tax payments to the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program. GOAL uses these contributions to provide private school scholarships to students who are eligible to enroll in pre-k4, kindergarten, or first grade or who are transferring from a Georgia public school.

How this helps you, the school, and the children.
You are already paying income taxes to the state. Why not redirect some of those taxes to provide Georgia children with Greater Opportunities for Access to Learning (GOAL)? When you redirect your Georgia income taxes to GOAL, you can designate that the contribution be used to provide scholarships at Wesleyan. Thus, Wesleyan is able to:

1. increase the financial aid that it can offer new students,
2. increase school enrollment, and
3. increase the funds available to improve educational offerings.

What is the maximum amount I can contribute?

a. Single individual or head of household - $1,000;
b. Married couple filing joint return - $2,500;
c. Married couple filing separate return- $1,250;
d. C Corporation - 75% percent of Georgia income tax liability; or
e. S Corporation shareholder, LLC member, or partnership partner –
pro-rata ownership share of the pass-through entity’s contribution,
not to exceed limitations on individuals and married couples.

How do I redirect my Georgia income taxes for the kids?
Please send the following items directly to Wesleyan School (attn: Linda McElwaney) at 5405 Spalding Drive, Norcross, GA 30092.
1. A completed GOAL Contribution Form
2. A completed copy of the Department of Revenue Form IT-QEE-TP1 and
    signed on Part C
3. A check made payable to “Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program, Inc.” in the
    amount of your contribution or credit card (this check will be deposited
    only when GOAL receives your Approval Letter from the DOR) GOAL will
    send you the required paperwork to claim the credit with your taxes.

Georgians have been given a rare opportunity—the ability to decide how to spend income tax dollars that they otherwise would pay to the government. Since 2008, more than 11,000 taxpayers have redirected some of their Georgia income taxes to the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program. As a result of their generosity, $28 million has been obligated for the provision of GOAL Scholarships to deserving students.

Please start the simple redirect process today. Contact Linda McElwaney at lmcelwaney@wesleyanschool.org or by phone (678-223-2291) if you have questions or need assistance.
