Most people are unaware of the fact that the state of Arizona permits us to redirect a portion of our tax dollars to a qualifying charity, thus allowing us to give to charitable organizations out of the tax dollars that we already pay.
• Current Arizona tax code allows for charitable donations of up to $400 per married taxpayers filing jointly and up to $200 per taxpayer filling as single to be redirected to a qualifying charity and returned to the taxpayer not as a deduction but as a credit!
• This means that taxpayers filing in Arizona have the unique opportunity to actually redirect a portion of the state tax dollars they already pay into charitable channels at no additional financial cost to themselves!
• With 467,000 people living in Phoenix neighborhoods who have no means to obtain medical or dental care, surely this is a tax benefit we should take full advantage of.
