The AZ tax credit is our #1 source of funding a new Habitat house. If you itemize your AZ taxes, you can direct $400 ($200 if filing single) to an organization that provides support for the working poor. You give $400 to Habitat now, fill out form 321 with your AZ taxes, and you get $400 extra in your refund (or pay $400 less). In other words, it doesn’t cost you one red cent! Plus, you can still take the separate tax credit for schools (form 322). But wait, there’s more…
This year, you can donate on-line! Just visit https://www.habitatcaz.org/donatenow/ and fill out the form, putting “Esperanza Lutheran” in the field at the end labeled “Are you making this gift for a specific house?” The deadline for donations that can be credited against your 2010 AZ taxes is Dec 31, so click on the link and do it now–it only takes a minute!
