Thanks to the Arizona charitable tax credit law, state taxpayers now have more incentive to make cash donations to qualified charitable organizations such as JFCS.

This tax credit for supporting a non-profit organization that helps the “working poor” in our community is separate from the school tax credits you may have heard about. If you qualify for it, the $200 or $400 credit is available to you, even if you are also receiving a tax credit for supporting a public or private school. Keep in mind -- this is not a tax deduction, but a tax credit, which means your contributions may earn a dollar-for-dollar tax credit to offset your Arizona income tax obligation.

For tax year 2011, taxpayers filing as single and unmarried head of household have a maximum credit amount of $200. Taxpayers who are filing as “married, filing jointly,” have a maximum credit of $400. Taxpayers who are filing “married, filing separately,” have a maximum credit of $200.
