Ready to Get Your Tax Credit?
For ANYONE filing state taxes for 2017 in Arizona:
As a Qualified Foster Care Organization (QFCO), E.A.R.N. donors that file Arizona state tax returns are eligible for a full “tax credit.” E.A.R.N. is among an elite group of non-profit organizations (only 40 are qualified) to offer this incredible program. Funds raised are applied to help foster kids in Arizona reach critical education goals to keep them from becoming a “statistic,” costing us all far more, and leaving them with no hope of a normal life. You benefit, they benefit! So please direct the same “funds” you would be giving to the state, to fulfill your tax obligation, to help deserving foster youth by donating now to E.A.R.N.
It is “so” simple. All you have do is follow these FOUR EASY STEPS:
- Make a donation of up to $500 (Single Payer) or $1,000 (Couple) to EARN.
- After you’re finished, we will issue you a receipt.
- Save your receipt from E.A.R.N. to enter key information about your contribution.
- Report your contribution to E.A.R.N. on Form 352 of your Arizona (AZ140) tax return.
That’s it! It’s really that easy!!! You get to choose directly where your tax dollars go, while helping some of the nearly 18,000 foster kids in AZ escape poverty, and a life of crime, by finishing their education and having a chance to succeed!
E.A.R.N. is an Arizona 503(c) charity. Our EIN is 49-1254809.
