Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Business charitable tax credits expand and tighten

Starting January 1, 2026, qualifying businesses can claim the existing tax credit for cash gifts to nonprofit special-purpose schools serving students with disabilities. A separate pool of up to $6 million a year is available for these schools, with limits of $1.25 million per school organization and $500,000 per location. The two existing organization categories share an $18 million annual cap, split evenly; one category has a 25% limit per organization, and the other has a 4.5% limit through 2026 and 4% starting in 2027. Starting January 1, 2026, serving children selected for the federal Promise Neighborhoods Program no longer qualifies by itself; other taxpayer and credit limits still apply.
