Take Advantage of Colorado’s Child Care Contribution Credit 

Colorado has created a unique state tax credit designed to encourage greater private contributions promoting child care throughout our state. The Child Care Contribution Credit can provide a sizable tax benefit for donors who financially support charities focused on the care and development of children in Colorado.

When a donation is made to an eligible charitable organization (e.g., Advocates for Children CASA), the Child Care Contribution Credit may allow a donor to claim a tax credit equal to 50% of the total donation.

The Child Care Contribution Credit may be claimed by individual donors, by partnerships and corporations, and by estates and trusts.

Importantly, the benefits of the Child Care Credit supplement, rather than replace, the tax benefits already in place at the state and federal levels. That is, a donor may still claim the federal charitable deduction and the state charitable deduction, with the Child Care Credit reducing any remaining state tax on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

Some limitations apply to the Child Care Credit. The credit is capped at $100,000 per year.

For more information, please consult with your tax adviser.
