SBDC Success Story:

Yavapai Exploration and Science (YES!)

A Founder's Powerful Leap for Children's Access to STE(A)M Education


When Amanda Voss founded Yavapai Exploration and Science (YES!) of Prescott in 2024, she wasn’t just launching another nonprofit - she was building a movement. A longtime educator and mom, Amanda envisioned a world where kids of all backgrounds could access hands-on, inclusive STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) experiences that ignite curiosity and confidence. 


Transaction Privilege Tax Changes and News


CUSTOMER ADVISORY ABOUT THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES


The Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) advises taxpayers to only make online payments through ADOR’s official payment website, AZTaxes.gov. For card payments, the Department does not sanction or accept payments through third-party bill payment services outside of AZTaxes.


ADOR does not charge a fee to make payments through e-check, but credit and debit card payments result in a processing service charge.


Ensure your payment is made through AZTaxes.gov, which accepts electronic corporate, withholding, and transaction privilege tax payments.


For tutorials on making an online payment, see the Taxpayer Education page.


Third-party YouTube videos

Similarly, be advised when accessing videos on YouTube. Some third-party videos may not have the correct information and could lead to errors when filing. When viewing instructions or tutorials, be sure that they are a video by the Arizona Department of Revenue with the name and logo featured on the video and within the ADOR YouTube Channel. You can also view ADOR tutorials on the TPT Tutorials page.
