Tax Rebate for Families

The Arizona Legislature carved out a $750 tax rebate for families. The rebate is part of the $2.5 billion state surplus and is aimed at providing relief for parents with dependent children to help mitigate the effects of inflation.

• The payment is dependent on the child's age.
  • $250 for children younger than 17 years old.
  • $100 for dependent children aged 17 and up.
• Up to three children per family can be claimed for the rebate.

Do Not Text Ban

Here's some good news. If you put your phone number on the national do-not-call list, your number will also be protected from text messages from solicitors.
