As the holiday season inspires generosity, Arizona Tax Credits offer a valuable opportunity, allowing Arizona taxpayers to make A World of Good in their communities while also preparing for tax season success.
Through Arizona’s tax credit system, residents like you can direct a portion of your state taxes to charities, foster care programs, and public and private schools. By participating, you help these organizations meet fundraising goals while reducing your tax liability.
To maximize all four of the Arizona Tax Credits, contribute to eligible organizations by December 31 each year. You can donate to as many of these different tax credit programs as you like, if you have the state tax liability to do so. Every dollar given is a dollar-for-dollar tax credit, empowering you to make a meaningful impact in Arizona.
