We invite you to choose the organizations you want to support and take this special issue to your next appointment with your tax adviser. The worksheet on the last page is a great tool as well and includes a checklist of the Arizona tax forms needed to claim your credits. Our hope is to see tax credit giving increase across all four categories. We believe that Arizona nonprofits and schools need a hand up now more than ever and invite you to join us in that effort.
The Arizona Charitable Tax Credit program is a unique opportunity for taxpayers. You have the power to decide where the state tax dollars you owe go — and, for most people, it doesn’t cost a thing.

Each credit is separate — so you can claim the maximum amount in all four categories. And, since there are so many organizations that qualify as a QCO, we’ve organized them into types this year so you can find an area that speaks to your heart.
So what’s the catch? There isn’t one, just a tax credit limit for each of the four categories listed here. A married couple filing jointly can get credit for up to $800 donated to a Qualified Charitable Organization (QCO). And QCO is just one of four credits available to benefit qualified Arizona nonprofits and schools!

More nonprofits than ever are relying on tax credit contributions, which provide donations to nonprofits while giving donors a break on state income taxes.
4 Private School Tuition Organizations for Individuals, with limits of $1,219 for individuals and $2,435 for married couples. These limits are the combined maximum contributions under the original law passed in 1997 and the expansion of the law passed in 2012.

TAX CREDIT GIVING GUIDE | FRONTDOORS MEDIA 9
The state of Arizona offers an opportunity to receive a dollar-for-dollar credit on your state income taxes when you donate to qualified organizations in five categories:
3 Public School Tax Credit Organizations, with limits of $200 and $400.
“Readers who own one or more Arizona corporations can also benefit, either directly or indirectly, by contributions their businesses make to Private School Tuition Organizations,” she said. “For owners of S-Corporations (generally flow-through entities in which the owners, not the business, pay the tax), see Arizona Form 335-I and 341-I instructions. For owners of C-Corporations (generally taxable corporations), contact a qualifying Private School Tuition Organization for more information.”
Some think it’s too good to be true, but it’s not. You can give to a qualified charity or tuition organization instead of giving it to the state government for taxes. Over time, these contributions have become increasingly popular for residents and beneficial for nonprofits.

“The COVID-19 stimulus payments families received in 2021 are tax-free and came with no restrictions. So, those monies can still be used to make tax credit contributions,” she said. “While a lot of folks really needed those stimulus payments to help make up for lost or reduced wages or increased expenses related to the pandemic, there were many people who received the payments and did not really need them.
Blunt added that many people who received COVID stimulus payments from the federal government may not have needed the infusion of money, and it could be put to good use by Arizona charities.
“Tax credit contributions help us support Legacy Connection’s Backpack Buddies program,” he said. “This is a program that provides back-toschool supplies and clothing that Title I children need when they return to school, enhancing their confidence and ability to focus on education. One in four students in this state lives in poverty. Thanks to tax credit donations, we can make a powerful difference in the lives of Arizona families.”
Brenda Blunt, a partner at Eide Bailly LLP, said the corporate tax credits can benefit many people who own their own companies.
Gerald Wissink, CEO of BHHS Legacy Foundation, said tax credit contributions have a tremendous impact on specific programs, such as the foundation’s Legacy Connection initiatives, as well as the nonprofits the foundation supports.
“Because of the Private School Tax Credit program, financial ability to pay does not preclude children from attending the schools that best fit their needs,” she said. “As a result, private schools are more diverse, and children from all backgrounds are thriving and reaching their potential.”
credits. The Low-Income Tax Credit supports low-income students in private schools, and the Disabled/Displaced Tax Credit supports disabled students and students in (or who have been in) foster care. Because there are statewide caps for both credits ($135 million and $6 million, respectively), applications for approval are made by the Private School Tuition Organization to the Arizona Department of Revenue on behalf of the donor.
“This is your chance to invest in Arizona’s future. Thanks to the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit, you can decrease your Arizona tax bill — or increase your refund — by $400 or $800.”
Additionally, Petty said the private school tax credits help students and families who might not otherwise be able to afford their tuition.
“Giving that money to a tax credit-qualifying organization is a great tax-advantaged way to help the most vulnerable people in our community,” Blunt said.
Some charities under the Arizfona Qualified Charity Tax Credit have a slightly different designation as “umbrella organizations.” They are eligible for contributions of $400 per person and $800 per couple as well, but are listed differently on the state of Arizona’s website. For example, Executive Council Charities, Valley of the Sun United Way and other United Way

Organizations are also added on an ongoing basis, so it may be worth your time to check back before year-end and again before April 15, 2022 — the last day 2021 tax credit contributions can be made.
Wissink agreed that these contributions are an important way for Arizonans to support their favorite charitable causes, whether during difficult times or smooth sailing.
“This is a chance for our community to invest in Arizona’s future,” he said. “Thanks to the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit, you can decrease your Arizona tax bill — or increase your refund — by $400 or $800. That means your gift ends up costing you nothing. It is a simple but powerful way to reach out and impact our community.”

PRIVATE SCHOOL TAX CREDITS
An update for 2021-22:
Individual taxpayers (single, head of household and married filing separately) will claim the first $611 of their donations on Form 323. Amounts over $611, up to the maximum donation of $1,219 allowed for the 2021 tax year, will be claimed on Form 348.
Per the Arizona Department of Revenue, an individual may claim a nonrefundable tax credit for contributions to Arizona State Certified School Tuition Organizations that provide tuition scholarships to students attending K-12 Arizona private schools.
All Arizona public and charter schools qualify for this credit.
For the purpose of claiming Arizona’s tax credit for contributions made or certain fees paid to a public school, the Arizona Department of Revenue now requires taxpayers report the school’s 9 digit CTDS number on Form 322, which is included with the Arizona income tax return. CTDS stands for County code, Type code, and District code & Site number.
