Working Poor Tax Credit
Did you know that TCAA is a 501(c)3 nonprofit agency? What does this mean? Donating to the Working Poor Tax Credit (like the school tax credit) you will receive dollar for dollar back on your state income tax. You can also give to TCAA and still give to the school and other 501(c)3 agencies as well. AND, better yet you can designate the funds to go to IHELP. Individuals can donate $200 and couples can donate up to $400. For more information contact Stephen at 480-350-5893. This donation is a win/win situation for everyone because you get a state tax credit while you help Tempe Community Action Agency continue to administer the IHELP program.
