Maximize Your Arizona Tax Credit: Support Verde Valley Senior Center!A Simple Way to Make a Big Difference for Seniors in Our Community

Did you know that you can donate to the Verde Valley Senior Center and receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit from the state of Arizona? That's right! Your donation could directly benefit seniors in the Verde Valley without costing you a dime out of pocket!

This individual income tax credit is available for contributions to Qualifying Charitable Organizations that provide immediate basic needs to residents of Arizona who receive temporary assistance for needy families (TANF) benefits, are low income residents of Arizona, or are individuals who have a chronic illness or physical disability. The tax credit is claimed on Form 321.

The maximum QCO credit donation amount for 2025:
$495 single, married filing separate or head of household; $987 married filing joint.

The maximum QCO credit donation amount for 2026:
$506 single, married filing separate or head of household; $1,009 married filing joint.

Please Note: Arizona law allows QCO donations made during 2025 or donations made from January 1, 2026 through April 15, 2026 to be claimed on the 2025 Arizona income tax return.  The maximum credit that can be claimed on the 2025 Arizona return for donations made to QCO's is $495 for single, married filing separate or head of household taxpayers, and $987 for married filing joint taxpayers.  If a taxpayer makes a QCO donation from January 1, 2026 through April 15, 2026 and wants to claim the higher 2026 maximum credit amount,  the taxpayer will need to claim the credit on the 2026 Arizona return filed in 2027.

How It Works:

1. Donate Today: You can contribute to the Verde Valley Senior Center in any amount up to $495 (single) or $987 (married) for tax credits applied to your 2025 taxes.
2. Claim Your Tax Credit: When you file your taxes, simply claim the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit (Form 321). Your donation will directly reduce the amount you owe the state.
3. Make a Lasting Impact: Your generous gift supports programs and services that enhance the lives of seniors in our community—helping with meals, resources, social engagement, and much more.
