  How to document your donation and claim your Arizona tax credits

  Fortunately, the process for making a charitable contribution and claiming the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit is relatively straightforward. There are four steps to document your donation and claim your tax credits.

  1. Donate to a certified charitable organization (QCO) like Brightly Living Foundation.

  2. Maintain a receipt of your gift from the charity to provide a copy with your tax return.

  3. Complete the relevant tax form to claim one or more credits for your gift(s): Arizona Form 321 for gifts to QCOs

  4. Calculate your individual tax return (e.g. Arizona Form 140, 140 X&Y Tables or 140X), subtracting your tax credits from your tax liability, in order to reduce your Arizona state tax balance. Include Arizona Form 321 with this return.

  For example, if a single individual owes $2,000 in taxes but donates $495 to a qualifying charitable tax organization, their tax liability is reduced to $1,505.
