Here are some answers to questions you may have about making a gift to Furniture Bank, Inc. and receiving a Tax Credit!
Why does Furniture Bank, Inc. qualify for the Working Poor Tax Credit?
The qualification is based on our spending at least 50% of our total operating budget on servicing Arizona residents who are considered working poor. About 99 percent of our clients qualify as Working Poor.
How do I know Furniture Bank, Inc. qualifies for the credit under this program?
Qualifying organizations are required to send the Department of Revenue a self-certification letter stating that they meet all qualifying criteria. The Department in turn publishes a list of self-certified organizations. You can request a list from Department of Revenue in Phoenix at 602.255.3381 or you can go to the Arizona Department of Revenue website at www.azdor.gov.
Can I take the Working Poor Tax Credit if I take the School Tax Credit?
Yes, they are separate credits and you are allowed to take advantage of both.
Does the tax credit also apply to my federal income tax returns?
No. The Charitable Tax Credit applies only on your Arizona State income tax. However, you may be able to claim a federal tax deduction for the amount donated.
