Beginning in 2022, Partners is pleased to offer an added incentive for our donors who give monetary donations as these now quality for the Child Care Contribution Credit. The Child Care Contribution Credit offers an additional credit up to 50% on your state income taxes. The Child Care Contribution Credit applies to monetary contributions given to Colorado institutions that support child care for children under 12 and to certain approved nonprofits.
How could the Child Care Contribution Credit work for me?
Half of your donation may be offset dollar-for-dollar against your Colorado income taxes. Plus, you may be eligible to claim a portion of your contribution as a charitable donation on your federal and state income tax returns if you itemize deductions. These deductions and credits substantially reduce the after-tax cost of such donations to taxpayers. Please see the table below to understand how the Chlld Care Contribution Credit may offset your donation.
