HB 26-1004

signed

Continuation of Child Care Contribution Tax Credit

Plain-English Summary

AI-generated

House Bill 26-1004 extends a tax credit for people who donate money to support child care programs in Colorado. This means that if you give money to help with child care, the state will give you back 50% of what you donated as a tax credit, up to $100,000. The bill has been signed into law and is now active, so this tax benefit will continue for another ten years beyond its original expiration date. This affects anyone who makes qualifying donations to child care initiatives in the state.

Official Summary

The act extends for an additional 10 years the availability of the state income tax credit allowed to a taxpayer who makes a qualifying monetary contribution to promote child care in the state equal to 50% of the total value of the contribution, not to exceed $100,000, through income tax years commencing prior to January 1, 2038.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
