Arizona Foster Care Tax Credit
If you are an Arizona taxpayer, you are eligible to receive a tax credit for your donation to qualifying Foster Care agencies. You actually just redirect a portion of your state tax dollars at no additional financial cost to yourself! The Arizona Foster Care Tax Credit allows your donations to GAP Ministries to be credited to you, the taxpayer, not as a deduction but as a tax credit!
Did You Know?
Reduces What You Owe
The Foster Care tax credit and the Charitable Tax credit reduce what you would normally owe in Arizona state taxes. You may give to both tax credits, as well as the Private School Tuition tax credit and Public School tax credit. More information is at https://azdor.gov/tax-credits/credits-contributions-qcos-and-qfcos
No Need to Itemize
For your Arizona State Income Taxes, you do not have to itemize deductions to claim a credit for contributions to GAP Ministries or Miracle Center.
Several Tax Credits Eligible
Taxpayers may utilize several tax credits each year: Foster Care, Private School, Charitable Organizations and Public School.
Review Your State Tax Liability
Look at last year’s state tax return to see what your state tax liability was. That is the amount that you may give as a tax credit at no cost to you! If your situation hasn’t changed, the amount should be similar. On Form 140 its line #46, 140EZ line#9, and 140A line #21.
