Increase Your Arizona Tax Refund with PASS

If you typically receive a tax refund, a donation to PASS can increase your refund dollar-for-dollar, up to the donation limit.

Step 1: Taxes Paid Throughout the Year
  • A couple filing jointly pays $2,500 in Arizona state taxes through paycheck deductions.
Step 2: Actual Tax Liability
  • Let’s say their total AZ tax liability is $2,300 ⇒ they are due a $200 refund.
Step 3: Donate to PASS
  • They make the full $987 maximum donation for joint filers to PASS.
Step 4: Refund Increases Dollar-for-Dollar
  • The donation reduces their tax liability. Instead of a $200 refund, they now receive:
  • $1,187 total refund (Original $200 refund + $987 PASS donation
Step 5: Complete Required Tax Form
  • Complete Arizona Form 321 with your tax return.
  • Organization information:
