Did you know the Tri-Community Food Bank (TCFB) is an Arizona Qualifying Charitable Organization that allows taxpayers to receive state tax credits for monetary contributions? The Arizona Charitable Tax Credit is available to taxpayers for contributions to Qualifying Charitable Organizations that provide immediate basic needs to residents of Arizona such as food, clothing, shelter, and health care.

The Tri-Community Food Bank is a QCO (code 20463), which allows interested individuals to reduce their state tax liability for monetary donations made to the Food Bank, receiving a dollar-for-dollar credit against the taxes owed to the state of Arizona. Individuals can donate up to $470 and married couples filing jointly can donate up to $938. This tax credit not only benefits donors financially but supports vital community services provided by certified organizations making a significant impact on the lives of Arizonians.

To claim tax credit for 2024, Arizona tax credit donations must be made by April 15, 2025. To claim the credit, Arizona Form 321 will need to be prepared and attached to your state tax return. Those interested in contributing to the TCFB and receiving state tax credit, check with your tax advisor for more information or see azdor.gov.
