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.
