Arizona Tax Credit
In Arizona, you can direct your tax dollars to the causes you care about. Your donation to BGCCR is eligible for Arizona's Tax Credit program, a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for Arizona taxpayers. It's simple - you give it, and then get it all back! Your donation of $470 provides a family of four with after school care for 3 months, including positive programs and hot, healthy meals every night. If you file jointly, you can give up to $938 and your donation will cover 10 weeks of summer camp for one Club kid. The deadline to donate is April 15, 2025 to receive the credit on your 2024 income tax return.
FAQs: Arizona Tax Credits
1) What is a Tax Credit?
A tax credit reduces your tax liability dollar-for-dollar. In other words, a tax credit comes right off the top of your state tax bill, lowering the amount you will pay.
2) How do I file for a Tax Credit?
You or your accountant will complete a simple tax form or in the online software. The form is included with materials provided by the State of Arizona to all state tax filers.
3) How do I document my contribution?
We send you a contribution confirmation letter/email that documents your donation.
4) Do I have to give $470 to get the tax credit?
You may receive an Arizona state tax credit of up to $938 if you are married and filing jointly, or $470 if you are married and filing separately or a single taxpayer or head of household. But, any amount less than $938 (married) $470 (single) still qualifies! You can also split your tax credit between Qualifying Charitable Organizations of your choice.
5) Does this tax credit affect the Arizona private and public schools tax credits?
No. This is in addition to the school tax credit programs. You can receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for giving to all three tax credit programs! For example, you can give to a public school, a Private School Tuition Organization, and the Qualifying Charitable Organization credit too.
6) What is the deadline for this donation?
2024 calendar-year filers have until April 15, 2025, to make a qualifying contribution. (It is a common misconception that you must make a contribution by December 31, 2024, to qualify for a 2025 tax credit.)
7) Which Tax Credits Support Boys & Girls Clubs of the Colorado River?
You can support BGCCR as a Qualified Charitable Organization (QCO).
