Be All in for Kids, and Keep Your Tax Dollars in Newton County

Newton County taxpayers can turn their Georgia income taxes into a dollar-for-dollar donation to the Newton Education Foundation by taking advantage of the PEACH Education Tax Credit. This program, an initiative of the Georgia Foundation for Public Education, has been funded by the legislature with $5 million, which is being distributed on a first-come, first served basis. So act now.

Claiming the credit is a simple three step process.

1. Apply online at the Georgia Foundation for Public Education, gfpe.org. You’ll recieve a confirmation to proceed.

2. Donate on the GFPE website — choose to send your credit to the Newton Education Foundation.

3. Claim the tax credit on your Georgia income tax return, dollar-for-dollar, against your state income taxes.
