In order to be considered an active parishioner, families must be registered, attending Mass regularly and tithing.
Donor records will be reviewed annually on June 30th to verify consistent tithing.

We have a number of opportunities available to families to reduce their tuition. Please see below.
Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit
The Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit program provides a refundable income tax credit of $5,000 - $7,5000 for eligible Oklahoma taxpayers who pay, or expect to pay, qualified expenses such as tuition and fees to an eligible private school on behalf of an eligible student that attends or plans to attend an eligible private school during that tax year.
To apply for the tax credit, families will log into the tax credit portal and provide the requested information, along with a Verification of Enrollment Form provided by the school. The portal for the 2025-2026 school year will open at 9:00 AM on February 18, 2025. Please apply HERE!
Once you submit an application you cannot make changes. The application will have to be withdrawn, then corrected and resubmitted.

I recevived an Enrollment Verification Number (EVN) from the Oklahoma Tax Commission (OTC) for student(s). What's next?
- Please verify the accuracy of all the information in the email(s) you received from the OTC containing the EVN for your student(s).
- Please ensure the OTC sent, and you received, an email for each student you intent to apply for the PCTC.
- Save all related emails for your records and future reference.
How did St. Elizabeth's gather information for the EVN?
- SEAS created a report in FACTS using the designated fields required by the OTC.
- SEAS Imported that information into the CSV file that the OTC requires all schools to use.
- SEAS did not enter any of your demographic information into the file. The information is derived from what a family has entered in the FACTS Family Portal. The only information SEAS entered in the file were the tuition and fees amounts.
- If a discrepancy is found, please contact accounting@stjohn-catholic.org prior to submitting your application for the tax credit.
I did not receive a confirmation email after submitting my tax credit applicaiton.
Due to the high volume of applications and call volume expected, applicants should allow up to six hours to receive their submission confirmation emails and should expect longer wait times for any phone inquiries. Be sture to also check your spam folders.

Priority applications will be reviewed and notified within 30 days from the date of application submission.

After all priority applications submitted during the priority period have been reviewed and a final determiation is made, all other applicants can expect to be notified of their status within approximately 30 days of the priority period ending or within 30 days of application submission if submitted at a later dae. Please note, each application is unique, and a manual review may be conducted to ensure accuracy.
How can I find out the staus of my application?

When and how will payments be made?
The credit must be issued in two installment payments.
The first installment payment is expected to be issued in August 2025; payments will be processed in order applications are approved. The installment payments will be disbursed by paper check payable to the taxpayer. Checks will begin processing on a weekly basis and will be sent directly to the school.
Second installment payments are expected to be issued beginning January 2026.
When we receive checks, we will notify the parent and schedule a time for the parent to come endorse the check. We will apply the funds towards tuition in the family's FACTS financial account after the check has been endorsed. If a family has paid tuition in or has paid more tuition than the amount of the tax credit, we will issue the family a refund.
