How the Arizona Foster CareTax Credit Transforms Lives for Foster Youth

October 16, 2024

At Friends of Ohana, we’re dedicated to making a lasting impact on the lives of foster youth by providing special experiences that bring joy, hope, and a sense of belonging. With the Arizona Foster Care Tax Credit, you can help make this possible. Your contribution directly supports programs and events like Trunk or Treat, holiday celebrations, and summer and winter camps, creating unforgettable memories for young people in need.

What is the Foster CareTax Credit?

The Arizona Foster Care Tax Credit allows you to redirect your state taxes to Friends of Ohana, giving you a dollar-for-dollar reduction in what you owe. Couples filing jointly can contribute up to $1,051, while individuals can contribute up to $526. Unlike a tax deduction, which only lowers your taxable income, this tax credit reduces your tax bill directly, making every dollar you donate count.

How to Donate and ClaimYour Credit

To claim your tax credit for the 2024 tax year, make your donation by April 15, 2025, either online or by mail. Here’s how:

●     Required Forms: Arizona Tax Forms 352 and 301
