A Benefit For You & STEP!

As an organization serving low-income Arizona residents, STEP is recognized as a Qualifying Charitable Organization with the Arizona Dept. of Revenue. Arizona taxpayers who make a donation to STEP may claim a 2026 tax credit up to $506 for single/head of household filers or $1,009 for married joint filers. 

Just include STEP's QCO Code (20153) when filing your AZ tax return.

This is in addition to any Arizona public or private school tax credit, or foster care tax credit that an individual may be claiming.  Donations made in each of these tax credit categories are claimed as separate credits with separate limits for each.  For more information, please visit the Arizona Dept. of Revenue's Qualifying Charitable Organization Webpage.

Thank you for considering this win-win way to support our work!
