Thanks to our efforts to provide barrier-free music education programs for youth in rural and tribal communities, Oracle Piano Society is now certified by the state of Arizona to receive tax credit donations as a Qualifying Charitable Organization!
If you have not already filed your taxes, there is still time to claim a dollar-for-dollar credit on your 2023 return if you donate to Oracle Piano Society by April 15, 2024.
To claim your tax credit, fill out Form 321 with your AZ tax filings. Our Arizona QCO Code is 22716. Ask your tax advisor for more information.
The maximum QCO credit donation amount for 2024:
$470 single, married filing separate or head of household; $938 married filing joint.
The maximum QCO credit donation amount for 2023:
$421 single, married filing separate or head of household; $841 married filing joint.
Please Note: Arizona law allows QCO donations made during 2023 or donations made from January 1, 2024 through April 15, 2024 to be claimed on the 2023 Arizona income tax return. The maximum credit that can be claimed on the 2023 Arizona return for donations made to QCO's is $421 for single, married filing separate or head of household taxpayers, and $841 for married filing joint taxpayers. If a taxpayer makes a QCO donation from January 1, 2024 through April 15, 2024 and wants to claim the higher 2024 maximum credit amount, the taxpayer will need to claim the credit on the 2024 Arizona return filed in 2025.
