Arizona Charitable Tax Credit – Redirect Your Taxes to Recovery

You’re going to pay Arizona state income taxes either way — but with the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit, you can choose to direct a portion of those tax dollars to Steps to Recovery Homes and help change lives in the process.

Steps to Recovery Homes is a Qualifying Charitable Organization (QCO) in Arizona. When you make a qualifying contribution, you may receive a dollar-for-dollar credit on your Arizona state income taxes, up to the limits set by the state. That means your gift can reduce the amount you owe in state tax, while directly supporting people in recovery.

What Is the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit?

The Arizona Tax Credit for Qualifying Charitable Organizations allows you to contribute to an eligible nonprofit and then claim that amount as a tax credit on your Arizona state income tax return. Unlike a tax deduction, which reduces your taxable income, a tax credit directly reduces your tax liability.

When you donate to Steps to Recovery Homes, your contribution may reduce the amount of Arizona tax you owe, up to the state’s allowed limit for your filing status, assuming you meet the eligibility requirements. You do not need to itemize your deductions to claim this credit, and in many cases you can still claim other Arizona credits (like the public school tax credit), subject to state rules.

For current limits and details, please consult the Arizona Department of Revenue or your tax professional.

How Your Tax Credit Gift Helps

Your Arizona Charitable Tax Credit contribution to Steps to Recovery Homes directly supports individuals who are serious about changing their lives but lack the financial resources and support network to do it alone. Many of our clients come to us with no money and very little stability. Your gift helps provide:

Safe, clean, and structured recovery housing where individuals can focus on healing and rebuilding their lives.
Daily life coaching and behavior support that teaches accountability, boundaries, and healthier decision-making.
Job development and workforce readiness so clients can become reliable, sober, purpose-driven employees.
Life skills training in areas like finances, communication, hygiene, relationships, and parenting.
Community and connection so people in recovery are not doing this alone.

Your tax credit gift is more than a financial transaction — it’s an investment in long-term recovery, stronger families, and a healthier community.

How the Tax Credit Works

The process for using the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit to support Steps to Recovery Homes is simple:

First, you make a qualifying donation to Steps to Recovery Homes within the timeframe allowed by Arizona for that tax year. You’ll receive a receipt for your records. When you file your Arizona state income tax return, you complete Arizona Form 321 – Credit for Contributions to Qualifying Charitable Organizations. On that form, you list the amount you donated and follow the instructions for calculating your credit.

If you’re eligible for the credit, your Arizona tax liability is reduced by your donation amount, up to the state’s maximum allowed for your filing status. If you usually receive a refund, your refund may increase; if you usually owe taxes, the amount you owe may decrease.

Because tax laws and limits can change, we strongly recommend you confirm your situation with a qualified tax professional or review the latest information from the Arizona Department of Revenue.
