Tax Benefits

The government provides some financial assistance that can alleviate your tax burden. Unless you know what you're eligible for, or work with someone who does, you may miss out.

Arizona caregivers may be eligible for three tax benefits that can save you money

The Child Tax Credit and Tax Credit for Other Dependents

People who claim their children or other dependents on their federal tax return can receive up to $2,000 for each qualified dependent. This credit is fully refundable, which means that you can get the money even if you owe no taxes. To receive the credit, you must meet certain income requirements. Read more about this credit here

The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit

If you paid someone to care for your dependent while you were at work, or while you were looking for work, you can get money back even if you owe no taxes. Up to $8,000 of what you paid for daycare, day camps, babysitting, adult day programs, or caregiving while you were working or looking for work can be claimed. Learn more about this credit here

Medical and Dental Expenses Tax Deductions

If you spent more than 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) on medical or dental expenses that weren’t paid back by your insurance, you can deduct that money from your taxable income and owe less on your taxes. You can count any money you spent on eligible expenses for yourself, your spouse, and your dependents which can add up quickly. Learn more here

Veterans Benefits

Veterans in Arizona may be eligible for benefits to help pay for caregiving services. Veterans who are unable to perform daily activities due to a disability or whose medical condition requires assistance with activities of daily living can apply for Aid and Attendance through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). 

Aid and Attendance is an enhanced monthly pension payment that helps Veterans and their families pay for caregiving services. To qualify, Veterans must meet certain eligibility requirements, including income thresholds, service-connected disabilities, and other criteria. 

In addition to Aid and Attendance, there are several other programs available through the VA which may provide additional benefits to Arizona caregivers of Veterans. For more information about the specific programs available, please contact your local VA or visit the VA’s website. You can also learn more about the benefits here

Arizona Veterans may also be eligible for additional benefits through the state’s Disabled Veterans Pension Program (DVPP). This program provides a monthly cash payment to low-income disabled Veterans who meet certain eligibility requirements.

Caregivers of disabled Veterans in Arizona are encouraged to contact their local DVPP office for more information about the benefits available. 

Finally, Arizona caregivers may be eligible for tax credits through the state tax credit program. This program provides qualifying Arizona residents with a nonrefundable credit against their state income tax liability. Eligibility requirements vary by credit, so it’s important to research the specific requirements for each credit to determine if you are eligible.
