What is the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit?

Arizona’s Credit for Contributions to Qualifying Charitable Organizations, more commonly known as the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit, is an income tax credit. Arizona state tax filers that donate to Qualifying Charitable Organizations can claim the credit to reduce their tax liability (the amount owed to the state in taxes) dollar-for-dollar up to the yearly limit.

 

Read Better Be Better is a Qualifying Charitable Organization. Your tax credit-eligible donations make moments like these possible:
