Last-minute Arizona tax credit for local giving

If you owe state taxes (those are due tomorrow, btw) you have one more chance to direct your dollars to a local nonprofit.

Why it matters: You have to pay one way or another, and Phoenix charities are eager to put your money to work.

How it works: Arizona law allows donations made to qualified charity organizations through April 15 to be deducted from 2025 state taxes.

• The maximum credit is $495 for a single filer and $987 for couples filing jointly.
• Even filers using the standard deduction can get a partial write-off for charitable donations.

The bottom line: Peruse the long list of eligible charities and act quickly if you want your donation to help with tomorrow's tax deadline.
