What is the charity tax code for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

[mesquitebean]

What screen are you referring to, and is it Federal or a state return?   If state, what state?

[mickihj19-]

It’s a State return, I paid Tithing, and I need to have it count

[mesquitebean]

What is it specifically asking for by "charity tax code"?  Is that the terminology it uses?   What state is it?

[mickihj19-]

Yes, it is. The Church qualifies as a charity but the EFN # that is on my paper from them is too long.

[mesquitebean]

I don't know what an EFN # is.  Or do you mean EIN (9 digits?)  I have asked twice above what state it is so I could see if anyone is familiar with that state return, but have not gotten any response to that..    You may have to call the charity and ask them.  Is there a phone number on your form so you can reach them?

Again - WHICH STATE?  AZ has implemented 'Charity Tax Codes for 2018 returns ...

[mickihj19-]

It’s for Arizona, and sorry they gave me an EIF number, but that is too long. I tried calling and they couldn’t give me a shorter code... grrrrr

Churches are NOT qualified charities for an AZ Tax Credit for general purpose tithing. Some sects sponsor School Tuition Organizations (STOs; List: https://azdor.gov/sites/default/files/REPORTS_2019_sto-i-list.pdf  ), and some run specific charities (QCOs; List: https://azdor.gov/tax-credits/contributions-qcos-and-qfcos ), but contributions made to Any church, and not to a specific, listed affiliated charity  - and receipt therefrom - are Not eligible for the AZ credits.
