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

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

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

Arizona

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

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 ...

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.
