Your assessed state income tax dollars can go further in helping those in need while reducing the taxing burden (yes, pun intended) on various Arizona-run government assistance programs. You may ask - Really?! How? The answer is Easy! Arizona allows you to pay your assessed Arizona income taxes through qualified deductible donations.
- Do you itemize your deductions but are capped at $40,000 for the SALT taxes?
- Do you take a standard deduction and don't see a significant benefit in deducting your charitable contributions?
- Have you already donated to some of these not-for-profit qualified organizations and wondered if you missed claiming the tax credit?
