Q: What if I owe the State of Arizona? A: For example: If you have a remaining State liability of $1,000 and you donate a $400 school tax-credit, you can immediately reduce that balance in liability to $600. 

Q: What if the State of Arizona owes me? A: For example: If the State owes you a refund of $500 and you donate a $400 tax-credit, you can increase your refund to $900.
