Tax Credit Law allows taxpayers a tax credit of up to $400 for those filing personal taxes as "married filing jointly", or $200 for those filing "head of household" or "single". • Parents are responsible for tracking money paid towards tax credit. • Athletes who secure a silver or gold sponsorship will receive 20% of the sponsorship amount towards their individual fees.
