Arizona Dollar-for-Dollar Tax Credit
Arizona law (ARS 43-1088) provides a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for contributions to charities that provide assistance to low-income individuals in Arizona.
- A married couple filing jointly may receive a maximum tax credit of $400. If you are single, or an unmarried head of household, or married filing separately, you may receive a maximum tax credit amount of $200.
- To qualify for the tax credit, you simply need to claim itemized deductions on your Arizona tax return.
- This tax credit may be claimed in addition to other AZ tax credits, such as those for public schools or school tuition organizations.
- Your gift will stretch far! A $400 gift allows one homebound person to receive assistance for an entire year. That same gift would pay for only two days of nursing home care.
- For other qualifications and more information consult your tax advisor, call the Arizona Department of Revenue at (602) 255-3381, or visit their website.

Planned Gifts
If you want to ensure the future of Duet for generations to come, some simple planning may allow you to make a larger gift than might otherwise be possible. Please let us know if you name Duet – Partners in Health & Aging, Inc. (formerly called Beatitudes Center DOAR) in your will, trust, or other estate documents so we can welcome you as a member of our Legacy Circle. If you have named Beatitudes Center DOAR in your estate documents, you do NOT need to revise those documents to reflect our name change. Duet’s federal tax ID is # 74-2370522.
Advantages of Planned Gifts
- Income or estate tax benefits
- Variable or fixed income for life
- Capital gains tax savings
- Satisfaction of making a gift of future support
- You don’t have to be wealthy or change your lifestyle to make a difference

Endowment
We have established an endowment fund that is growing our assets. This will benefit Duet by providing long-term, discretionary income. This revenue may be used as a reliable part of our annual funding stream. By designating a gift to our endowment fund, you will provide for perpetual distribution. A gift to the endowment fund will make a difference for future generations. When you make an outright gift to our endowment fund, you will receive immediate tax benefits. Outright gifts may include:
- Cash
- Appreciated securities
- Real estate

- Be recognized as a special friend and member of the Legacy Circle in the Duet newsletter and other publications.
