The school tax credit is $400 for married I think. But is there a bigger maximum on contributions that I can use?

I read somewhere (I know you've heard that before) that there is a bigger contribution deduction that you can deduct?

Federal education tax credits are very different, so we think you are talking about a state tax issue.  There are so many difference we can't help without more info.

AZ has three big tax credits. Approximate amounts (MFJ): $400 for Public schools (Form 322), $800 for specified AZ charities (Form 321), and $1,070 for Private K-12 schools (Form 323). All also count as Deductions on your federal return, so you can actually make money by donating if you itemize. Details at AZDOR.gov: https://www.azdor.gov/Forms/Credits.aspx  ...
