Arizona Tax Credit 2020
What is the Arizona State Tax Credit program? This program allows you to receive a dollar-for-dollar credit against Arizona state taxes owed when you make a donation to an eligible organization.
You can contribute up to the amount of your expected Arizona tax liability. You will pay about the same total amount whether you use the tax credits or just pay the tax. But by donating to the tax credit eligible organizations of your choice, you get a say in how the money is spent.
Generally, tax credit donations must be made by April 15, 2021, in order for them to apply to the 2020 year. For additional information, visit the Arizona Dept of Revenue state tax credit page.
