The maximum QCO credit donation amount for 2023 will be:

$421 single, married filing separate or $841 head of household; married filing joint.

Tax Credit for Contributions to Qualifying Charitable Organizations Info: https://azdor.gov/tax-credits/contributions-qcos-and-qfcos

What is The Arizona Tax Credit? A nonrefundable individual/joint tax credit for voluntary cash contributions to a qualifying charitable organization (QCO)

Do I have to itemize to claim Charitable Tax Credits? No, you do not have to itemize deductions to claim a credit for contributions.

Can I take the Earned Income Tax Credit if I take the School Tax Credit? Yes, they are separate credits and you are allowed to take advantage of both.

How do I know Habitat qualifies for the credit under this program? Qualifying organizations are required to send the Department of Revenue a self-certification letter stating that they meet all qualifying criteria. The Department in turn publishes a list of self-certified organizations. You can request a list from Department of Revenue in Phoenix at 602.255.3381 or you can go to the Arizona Department of Revenue website at www.azdor.gov.

Note: Habitat is not a tax advisor. Contact a qualified tax advisor for advice on your taxes.

TeamBuild with Purpose

TeamBuild With Purpose is a group volunteer event created for businesses, corporations and faith-based organizations looking to make a positive impact in Valley communities. This memorable day of building is perfect for departmental outings, team training and convention groups.
