Arizona Family, Dependent, and Care-Related Tax Relief
Arizona state income tax relief that may apply to caregiver households, including the family income tax credit, dependent tax credit, increased excise tax credit for disabled and low-income individuals, property tax credit for older adults and SSI recipients, and care-related exemptions for certain older adults supported by the taxpayer.
What it offers
Arizona offers several tax relief paths relevant to caregiver households. The family income tax credit is income-limited and nonrefundable. The dependent credit is $100 for each dependent under age 17 and $25 for other dependents, subject to phaseout. The increased excise tax credit is intended to assist disabled and low-income individuals and can provide $25 per eligible person, up to $100 per household. Arizona also describes a property tax credit for residents age 65 or older or receiving Title 16 SSI with very low household income, and care-related exemptions for certain older adults supported by the taxpayer, including a parent or ancestor age 65 or older who needs help with activities of daily living.
Questions that decide eligibility
GiveCare prepares the questions; the program makes the decision. Bring these to the call or the application:
- 01
Does the person receiving care live in Arizona?
Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- 02
Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?
- 03
Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?
- 04
Which tax year does this apply to, and what form claims it?
- 05
Does your employer already offer this, and have they told staff?
Some credits are claimed by the employer, not by you — asking is the move.
