Colorado Child Care Contribution Tax Credit
Colorado Dream Foundation is a qualified childcare facility for the State of Colorado, which means your donation of $250 or greater qualifies for a 50% child care contribution tax credit.
This information should not be construed as tax advice, and as always, you should consult your tax advisers for the most accurate information.
Guidelines:
Your donation still qualifies as a charitable deduction on your Federal income tax.
The maximum credit you may take in any one year is $100,000 or your actual Colorado income tax liability for the year, whichever is less.
The donation must be made as a single gift, paid in full via check, cash, credit card, direct bill, or electronic funds transfer. Stock or other securities and in-kind gifts are not eligible for this credit.
You can take advantage of the tax credits regardless of whether you itemize or not.
Both individuals and corporate donors can benefit from this tax credit program.
Any unused credit may be carried forward for up to five additional tax years.
