Andrea Tyler Evans, Publisher

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.

Karen Werner, Editor in Chief

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.

With thanks,

Andrea & Karen Andrea Tyler Evans, Publisher Karen Werner, Editor in Chief

Tax Credit Contributions HELP ARIZONA NONPROFITS FULFILL MISSIONS

T

By Tom Evans

ax credit contributions — donations that provide revenue to nonprofits while giving donors a break on state income taxes — continue to be the fuel that powers many Arizona nonprofits and helps them achieve their missions.

It’s true — you can give to a qualified charity or tuition organization instead of giving to the state government for taxes.

Over time, these contributions have become increasingly popular for residents and beneficial for nonprofits.

The State of Arizona allows taxpayers to receive a dollar-for-dollar credit on their state income taxes when they donate to qualified organizations in these categories: ARIZONA QUALIFYING CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS, which provide basic needs to qualifying low-income families and individuals, the chronically ill and disabled. Limits are $421 for individuals and $841 for married couples for tax year 2023 and $470 for individuals and $938 for married couples for the 2024 tax year.

CERTIFIED SCHOOL TUITION ORGANIZATIONS: These organizations may only receive your contribution if you’ve already maxed out the Private School Tuition Organization credit first. Limits increased to $652 for individuals and $1,301 for married couples for 2023 and $728 for individuals and $1,451 for married couples for 2024.

PUBLIC SCHOOL TAX CREDIT ORGANIZATIONS, with limits of $200 and $400.

PRIVATE SCHOOL TUITION ORGANIZATIONS FOR CORPORATIONS: C-Corporations, S-Corporations, LLCs and insurance companies can qualify for two types of credit. The first is the Corporate Contributions to School Tuition Organizations, which supports low-income students in private schools. The full name of the second credit is Corporate Contributions to School Tuition Organizations for Displaced Students or Students with Disabilities.

PRIVATE SCHOOL TUITION ORGANIZATIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS, with limits of $655 for individuals and $1,308 for married couples for the

FRONTDOORS MEDIA | TAX CREDIT GIVING GUIDE

Brenda Blunt, a partner with Eide Bailly LLP, said that state income tax rates are actually lower this year, but there are ways to maximize contributions for this year and next.

“Any qualifying contribution that can’t be used as a credit this year can be carried over to the next five years or taken as a current year tax deduction instead.”

“For 2023, the Arizona Legislature changed the tax rate on individuals from the two-tier rates of 2.55 percent and 2.98 percent in 2022 to a flat rate for everyone of 2.5 percent,” she said. “In addition, the Legislature now allows partnerships and S-corporations doing business in Arizona to elect to pay tax at the entity level rather than at the owners’ level. Both of these developments will result in some individuals paying less tax on the same amount of money in 2023 than they did in 2022, so those taxpayers will have less ability to absorb a charitable tax credit than they have in the past.”

Blunt continued, “Any qualifying contribution that can’t be used as a credit this year can be carried over to the next five years or taken as a current year tax deduction instead. While deductions aren’t as great as credits, there is a valuable tax benefit for making a difference for the good of both current and future Arizona.”

Gerald Wissink, CEO of BHHS Legacy Foundation, said tax credit contributions have a tremendous impact on specific programs, including ones his foundation supports.

“Arizona tax credit contributions are a lifeline for nonprofits,” he said. “When you give, you not only help nonprofits make a positive impact on our state but also empower our community’s growth and

well-being. The Arizona charitable tax credit program is a win-win. You decide where the state tax dollars you owe go — and, for most people, it doesn’t cost a thing. Your generosity can make a huge difference to local nonprofits and the lives of Arizona children and families.”

Wissink said that tax credit contributions help support Legacy Connection’s Backpack Buddies program. “This program is about more than backpacks and school supplies. It’s about investing in the future of our youth, equipping them with the tools they need to succeed, and ultimately, building a stronger, more promising Arizona for generations to come.”

For a complete list of qualifying charitable organizations and qualifying foster care organizations, visit azdor.gov/tax-credits/ contributions-qcos-and-qfcos. Organizations are added on an ongoing basis, so it may be worth your time to check back before year-end and again before April 15, 2024 — the last day 2023 tax credit contributions can be made.

WHAT IS AN UMBRELLA ORGANIZATION?

Some charities under the Arizona Qualified Charity Tax Credit have a slightly different designation as “umbrella organizations.” They are eligible for contributions of $421 per person and $841 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 across the state are considered umbrella organizations because they may receive tax credit contributions and distribute them to other nonprofit partners in the community.

FAMILIES RAISING HOPE

CANCER SUPPORT

The mission of Families Raising Hope is to assist cancer patients and their families with the financial burden that cancer treatments pose so they can focus on their health, healing and recovery.

The costs associated with cancer treatment can escalate rapidly, placing significant financial strain on patients and their families. From doctor visits and missed workdays to travel, overnight stays and medications, expenses can make it challenging to manage essential living costs like rent or mortgages, car payments, utility bills, groceries and gas. FRH is dedicated to easing the financial burden of cancer treatment for Arizona patients of all ages. We focus on supporting essential living expenses during their treatment journey. By offering assistance with these vital costs, we empower patients to focus on what truly matters: their health, healing and recovery.

CARE 4 THE CAREGIVERS

SPECIAL NEEDS

Care 4 the Caregivers aims to reduce caregiver burnout and build the resiliency of caregivers of children with disabilities by providing easy-to-access tools focusing on mindfulness, education and community.

Caregivers are often unseen and unsupported. This leads to high rates of stress, anxiety and depression that culminate in PTSD-like symptoms. Caregivers lose family and friends and are often forced out of the workforce due to the demands of caring for their disabled child. As a result, caregivers live in isolation, and there are few charities that focus on their needs. Our charity focuses on supporting these caregivers with counseling, support groups, parent education classes and community events.

Since our establishment three years ago, we have directly served 1,000 families in Arizona and indirectly served thousands with our online resources.

HOW DO THE EDUCATION TAX CREDITS WORK?

PUBLIC SCHOOL TAX CREDITS Per the Arizona Department of Revenue, an individual may claim a nonrefundable tax credit for making contributions or paying fees directly to a public school in this state for support of eligible activities, programs or purposes as defined by statute.

An update for 2023-24: 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 nine-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.

All Arizona public and charter schools qualify for this credit.
