Where do enter the 400.00 that Arizona allows as credit if you donate to school

I do not see where I entered this. IT suppose to be a dollar for dollar credit

To enter information for Arizona Form 322 (Credit for Contributions Made or Fees Paid to Public Schools) in TurboTax, please take the following steps: 

1. Select State Taxes tab
2. Select your Arizona return
3. Verify the information on each screen in the Arizona interview section for income and deductions as it is displayed, then click on Continue button
4. When you reach the "Contributions, Tuition and Fees Paid to Qualifying Schools” screen, select "I paid fees or made a contribution to an Arizona public school by April 18, 2017 (not already claimed on my 2015 return) to support extracurricular activities that I wish to include on my 2016 return" and/or "I claimed a credit for contributions or fees paid to public schools in 2015 or a prior year 
   that was carried forward to 2016", or either of the same selections, but for a private school
5. You will now be able to enter your Form 322 contributions and prior-year carryovers (if any)

This reply does explain how to add the amounts but Turbo Tax doesn't reflect the change allowing for $400 instead of $200.  When will the software be updated?

[mrktmas]

I agree with the previous users reply.  When will Turbo Tax update the software.  For married couples it went from $400.00 per year to $800.00 per year.  The software will not allow me to enter anythinf more than $400.  Is TurboTax using old forms?  I do not feel very confident after dealing with this.

I was able to enter this in my AZ state return. Does this amount need to be entered somewhere on my federal return as well? If so, where would I enter that? I don't want to get in trouble if I entered it on my federal and state and and was no supposed to. Thank you.

[KrisD15]

No, it does not get entered on the Federal return. It is a state credit only.

I forgot to add this initially and accidentally filed my state return. Now I am amending it but I can't find where to enter the donation to qualifying school. I looked under tax breaks and searched for Schools Tax Credits and AZ Form 332. Every help message says to go to AZ and answer the interview questions but this is no longer available when amending. All I need to do is enter the amount I donated to qualifying school for my amended return.

Go into the AZ interview and just continue (click through) the interview questions/pages.  Eventually, you will arrive at the AZ Tax Credits page.  There you can select the "School Donation" option that applies to you and the follow on pages will allow the information entries.

Remember this is a non-refundable credit, meaning you can get your tax bill to zero and the unused credit will be carryover to next year.

I cannot find where to enter a donation for AZ Public School tax credit. I have gone through the interview several times, but unable to find AZ Tax Credits page, or anything similar.

[JulieS]

Yes, there is a page dedicated to school tax credits in the Arizona interview. See the image below.

To find it in your return:

1. Sign into TurboTax and click on State Taxes, then Your State Returns on the left side menu.
2. Click Edit to the right of Arizona.
3. Continue until you get to School Tax Credits (it is several screens) , check the first box and click Continue. 
4. Click Continue again and enter your information on the next page.
