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.
