AZ Charitable Tax Credit (formerly “Working Poor Tax Credit”)
The Arizona Charitable Tax Credit program let’s you make a donation to a qualified charitable organization like JA and claim it as a deduction when filing your taxes. Donate up to $400 (filing single) or $800 (filing jointly) and receive a dollar-for-dollar credit on your taxes. Bonus: this program does NOT compete with the school tax credit program. You can give to both! Learn just how easy it is to give and get it back!
We hope you will keep JA in mind when making decisions around charitable giving this year.
