It’s halfway through the year & time to start thinking about your 2008 taxes. Not many people realize the choices they have regarding how their tax dollars will be spent. Through your donation to the Arizona Military Family Relief Fund (MFRF) you can receive a dollar-for-dollar reduction on your taxes. Not only do you reap the rewards that come from helping those in need, but now you can tell Arizona what to do with the money you already pay!
The Arizona MFRF provides up to $10,000 to families whose loved ones have been injured or killed while fighting the Global War on Terror. All funds come from Arizona tax credits or direct contributions from citizens wanting to support our brave military heroes.
The fund is administered by the Arizona Department of Veterans’ Services, so your contributions will go directly to Arizona military families in need. The tax credit is the smaller of the donated amount: $200 if single & $400 if married and filing jointly, or the amount of state tax you owe.
Military Family Relief Fund recipients use the support for everything from regaining financial stability after losing a loved one, to purchasing international plane fare to be by their injured child’s side. Contributions to the fund can be made through the organization’s website at azmfrf.gov, or direct mail campaign.
