DESIGNATE YOUR TAX CREDIT BY DECEMBER 31
The Charitable Tax Credit can be designated to The Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program (IHELP). This Charitable Tax Credit is a win-win for all! Also called the Working Poor Tax Credit, the tax credit will come off your State bill, lowering the amount of tax you will pay or increasing your refund amount. Married couples filing jointly can donate $400 to TCAA and single filers can donate up to $200. You can participate in this tax credit and the school tax credit in the same year! For questions contact Beth at 480-350-5883 or click on the flyer. |
