JOIN US! Welcome to the latest edition of The Arizona Tax Credit Giving Guide and AZTaxCreditGuide.com , brought to you by Frontdoors Media, your trusted source for local philanthropy information. As tax season approaches, we understand that you may be looking for ways to make a meaningful impact in our community while optimizing your tax situation. Fortunately, Arizona is a special place, as it’s one of the best in the country when it comes to tax credits for charitable giving. The Arizona charitable tax credit program empowers you to direct your state tax dollars to causes that matter to you, at no cost. It’s a win-win situation for both you and our state’s nonprofit sector. So what’s the catch? There isn’t one, just a tax credit limit for each category listed in this publication. For instance, a married couple filing jointly can claim up to $841 in tax credits by donating to a Qualified Charitable Organization (QCO). And QCO is just one of the credits available to support qualified Arizona nonprofits and schools. The best part? Each credit is separate, allowing you to maximize your impact and claim the maximum amount in all categories. To make giving easier, we’ve organized the qualified organizations into types, making finding causes that resonate with your heart simple. Read on for details about how the Arizona charitable tax credit program works, as well as for a directory of nonprofits, foster care organizations, schools and school tuition organizations that have partnered with us for the 2023-2024 tax season. They are all vetted and qualify per the Arizona Department of Revenue ( azdor.gov/tax-credits ). We invite you to choose the organizations you want to support and take this guide to your next appointment with your tax adviser. The worksheet on the last page is a valuable tool and includes a checklist of the Arizona tax forms needed to claim your credits. Now, more than ever, Arizona nonprofits and schools need our collective support. We invite you to join us in this effort as we strive to benefit our community, together.
