Donations made to these charities between January 2022 and April 15, 2022, can be claimed on either your 2021 Arizona tax return or your 2022 Arizona tax return, but not both.
You can’t claim more than you owe in state taxes, so if you’ve already reached that threshold, you can make donations now and keep the records for your 2022 taxes.
