Working Poor Tax Credit

Dear Friends and Fellow Taxpayers,
As long-time Arizona residents and big fans of our Valley youth, Karen and I applaud our state for giving us the choice to take up to $400 off our state tax bill and give it to HomeBase Youth Services (Working Poor Tax Credit). Arizona’s Working Poor Tax Credit offers every resident this dollar-for-dollar tax credit. In addition, your donation is deductible on your Federal taxes if you itemize deductions.
Like so many of you who are grandparents and community supporters, we are committed to investing in our youth -- they are our future. We invite you to join us this year and experience the personal and community rewards of this opportunity.

Karen and Bob Hobbs

Working Poor Tax Credit How it Works

Establish a baseline year and amount for charitable deductions (as early as 1996). The credit is computed on the amount given over and above the baseline amount.

Make a tax-deductible donation to HomeBase Youth Services, which qualifies for a charitable contribution deduction for Federal income tax purposes.

Itemize your charitable deductions on Federal Schedule A, including this donation for a Federal Tax deduction.

Your "add back" is done on Arizona Schedule A (Arizona law does not allow you to take this as both a deduction and a credit).

Complete, if necessary, Arizona tax forms 321 and 301.

On Page One of Arizona Form 140, you may take a dollar-for-dollar credit^*.
The State of Arizona will reduce the amount you owe or increase your refund, up to $400^*!
