Arizona Tax Credit Option

What you need to know about the Arizona Tax Credit Option

Here's your chance to really make a difference!

Arizona has officially certified Jam Pak as a Qualifying Charitable Origanization for the state's Tax Credit Option! We are grateful to be right up there with all those select charter schools and other worthy charities. Now you can refocus your tax dollars to our best hope for the future...our children!

Here's how it works:

  • A "Tax Credit" is literally a decision to pay a portion of your State taxes to a nonprofit organization rather than the government.

  • Without paying one extra cent in taxes, you can use your Tax Credit Option to divert a portion of your State taxes to our award-winning efforts to help children of all kinds.

  • To take advantage, you simply donate up to $470 (for an individual) or up to $938 (for a couple filing jointly) by April 15th. You must be a resident of Arizona to use this Tax Credit Option.

  • Jam Pak then sends you back a receipt that you use to reduce the taxes you owe when filing your tax return.

  • The full amount of your donation -- even up to $938 -- is the full amount you'll save in State taxes!

Note: If you want to dig deeper into the State's process, complete information is available from the Arizona Department of Revenue website, www.azdor.gov OR their email at QCO@azdor.gov.

Ready? Steps to take next...

  1. Mail a check to "Jam Pak Band" for the amount you can contribute within the Tax Credit limits (up to $470 for an individual or up to $938 for a couple filing jointly). Write "20 _ _ (write in the current year) Arizona Tax Credit" in the bottom left corner of your check.

  2. Receive from jam Pak a formal Tax Credit Donation receipt which is easy to fill out and attach to your eventual Arizona tax return.

  3. Finally, and above all, make sure that you or your tax preparer don't pay too much in taxes!
