FAQ’s

Frequently Asked Questions.

Here are some common questions about Hope & A Future

Is this the “Working Poor Tax Credit?
No. The Arizona Department of Revenue no longer uses the phrase “Working Poor Tax Credit.” However, The Foster Care Tax credit falls under ARS §43-1088, which was formerly called the “Working Poor Credit.” When ARS §43-1088 was recently revised the formal name of the credit became “The Credit for Donations made to Qualifying Charitable Organizations.”

To summarize, the Foster Care Tax Credit is authorized today by ARS §43-1088 under the name “The Credit for Donations made to Qualifying Charitable Organizations.”

Is Hope & A Future a Qualifying Charitable Organization?

Yes. Hope & A Future is a Qualifying Charitable Organization under ARS §43-1088.

Specifically, Hope & A Future is certified by the Department of Revenue as a Qualifying Foster Care Charitable Organization.

What are the limits for the Arizona Foster Care Tax Credit under ARS §43-1088?

Because Hope & A Future is a Qualifying Foster Care Charitable Organization, married taxpayers can donate up to $1,173 and single taxpayers up to $587 to Hope & A Future. These are new limits established in 2024.

Can a taxpayer donate to more than one qualifying charity?

Yes. A taxpayer may give to non-foster care qualifying charitable organizations too.  In 2024, married taxpayers may also donate up to $938 and single taxpayers up to $470 to non-foster care charitable organizations and receive a tax credit. Donations to non-foster care organizations are an entirely separate credit and don’t count against what taxpayers can give to foster care organizations.
