The Arizona Charitable Tax Credit helps low income children and reduces your state income tax.
One way to make a difference in the lives of children is through the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit. A donation of up to $400 to Christian Family Care will qualify you for a $400 state income tax credit. This is not a tax deduction, rather a tax credit.
The tax credit is available only to individuals and residents of Arizona.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I qualify?
You simply must itemize charitable contributions on your tax return.
The credit is as follows for taxpayers filing as:
- married filing jointly: up to $400
- single or unmarried head of household: up to $200
- separate returns: up to $200
Can I also take advantage of other State tax credits?
Yes! In addition to the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit, you may also take advantage of tax credits available through private school tuition tax credit organizations and the public school tax credit, further reducing your tax liability. Check with your tax professional.
Do I qualify for the credit if I do not owe taxes at year end?
The credit reduces your state tax liability independently from any tax that you may have withheld during the year. If you withheld an amount equal to or greater than your tax liability, the credit will increase your state tax refund.
Can I donate to more than one qualifying charity?
Yes, you are able to donate to more than one qualifying charitable organization as long as the total amount does not exceed the limits mentioned above.
