4. Tax credits help the working poor
A $200 donation ($400 if married and filing jointly) to NHS Phoenix can get you a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on your Arizona income tax return. The credit will come off the top of your state tax bill, lowering the amount you will pay, as opposed to a deduction which only helps determine your final tax liability. For more detailed information, visit the Arizona Department of Revenue at www.revenue.state.az.us or call 602.255.3381. (NHS Phoenix recommends that you contact a qualified tax advisor for expert advice on your specific tax situation.)
