Step 2: Bishop Shanahan will connect you with either BLOCS or The Foundation for Catholic Education to include you as a SPE member based on availability.
Step 3: After being approved by the state, you will be notified that your Year 1 contribution must be received by a specific date. Not to worry….BLOCS and The Foundation for Catholic Education will manage the communication between you and Harrisburg. They make the process very easy, and Shanahan is also always here to help!
Step 4: The LLC will then receive tax credits equal to 90% of the donation amount. Your 90% credit will be distributed to you via K-1 and are then applied to your PA tax liability for the tax year in which the donation was made. *If your PA state tax has been withheld all year long as payroll deduction, you will be refunded after you file your taxes.
Step 5: Your second (or Year 2) contribution will be made approximately one year following the first payment date.
If you choose Bishop Shanahan to be the recipient of your tax credit contribution, BSHS will be notified by either BLOCS or the Foundation for Catholic Education and then 100% of your contribution will be awarded to a Shanahan family in need of tuition assistance for the following school year.
