Arizona Tax Credit for Charitable Contributions

Some general guidelines for using the Arizona State Charitable Tax Credit are as follows:

• An individual must make the gift (corporations, foundations, partnerships, etc., do not qualify).

• The gift must be made in cash (in-kind donations do not qualify).

• The maximum credit allowed for single taxpayers or heads of household for joint taxpayers changes each year - see new credit options on site or arizona.gov.

Care Fund is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Qualifying Charitable Organization, code 20167. You can visit the Arizona Department of Revenue website (https://azdor.gov/tax-credits/contributions-qcos-and-qfcos) to see if an organization qualifies as a charity.

3 SIMPLE STEPS:

• Donate online at www.thecarefund.org/donate and mark your designation as “tax credit.”

• A receipt will be provided for your online donation (and we'll email you a copy).

• List your donation amount and our QCO Code 20167 on Arizona State Tax Form 321.

The deadline to make a contribution applicable for the current tax year is April 15 unless that day falls on a weekend or holiday.

These tax credit programs are all independent and you can claim them all on the same tax return. You can also choose to donate to multiple QCOs. To see what the maximum donation amounts are for total tax credit donations, visit the Arizona Department of Revenue website (https://azdor.gov/tax-credits/contributions-qcos-and-qfcos). Always consult your tax professional.

The tax credit only applies to your Arizona state income tax. However, you may be able to claim a federal tax deduction for the amount donated. Consult with a tax professional for your unique situation.
