FAQ's
Can I take this credit in addition to other credits such as credit for donations to schools and foster care agencies?
Yes. Each tax credit is separate, so you can take the Charitable Tax Credit in addition to tax credits for schools and foster care agencies. Download/Print Form 301 on the Arizona Department of Revenue's website for other credits you may be able to take.
*Do I have to donate $400 or $800 at once?
