You will find this in the Arizona state tax interview. State-specific tax credits are not calculated during your federal data entry; they are entered on the state return.
Follow these steps to locate the QCO entry screen:
- Select State from the left-hand menu.
- Select Continue or Edit next to your Arizona state return.
- Proceed through the initial Arizona residency and income screens until you reach the Taxes and Credits or Arizona Credits summary screen.
- Locate the section for Other Nonrefundable Credits and select Start or Revisit.
- Find the category specifically labeled Contributions to Qualifying Charitable Organizations and select Start or Update.
- Enter the required details for your donation: the date, the exact name of the charity, the 5-digit QCO Code (this is mandatory and can be found on the charity's receipt or the official Arizona Department of Revenue list), and the contribution amount.
- Select Continue to save the entry.
TurboTax will process this information to automatically populate AZ Form 321 and calculate your allowable dollar-for-dollar tax credit. For the 2025 tax year, the maximum allowable QCO credit is $495 if you are filing as Single/Head of Household, and $987 if you are Married Filing Jointly.
