No. There is no minimum dollar threshold – a taxpayer can make a gift of any size, up to the maximums described above.

A taxpayer can make a $10 donation, submit their Arizona Form 352, and receive a tax credit in the amount of $10 from the state of Arizona.

Not to worry, unused credits can be carried forward. The state of Arizona and the IRS allow for a 5 consecutive year carryover period when claiming itemized deductions for charitable contributions.

As an example, imagine you donated $1,051 as a household to Child Crisis Arizona; but then, you realize you only have a tax liability of $300.

You will receive $300 back from the state of Arizona, but not more than that since your liability was below the gift made.

If you find yourself in this situation, you can carry forward the difference for up to 5 consecutive years! This ensures that even if your liability is lower than a gift, you can still claim that gift in a future tax year against your liability.

Tax credits directly reduce the amount of taxes you owe, giving you a dollar-for-dollar reduction of your tax liability. A tax credit valued at $1,051, for instance, lowers your tax bill by a corresponding $1,051.
