"How it works" in three steps
01
Give to ASM, up to $506 single or $1,009 married filing jointly.
02
File Arizona Form 321 with ASM's QCO code [20298].
03
Reduce your Arizona tax bill by the amount you gave.
Credit vs. deduction
A deduction lowers your taxable income. A credit lowers your tax bill itself.
Give $1,009 and your state tax owed drops by $1,009. You’re choosing where your tax dollars go: to reentry and discipleship instead of the state's general fund.
Worked example
WITHOUT THE CREDT
The Smiths owe $2,000 in Arizona taxes.
.
WITH THE CREDIT
They give $1,009 to ASM. Their state tax bill drops to $991.
Same total out of pocket, but $1,009 now supports men and women coming home from prison.
