Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

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

Individuals gain pregnancy-center tax credit

Starting January 1, 2026, individual taxpayers who are not business enterprises can claim a state tax credit for cash gifts to eligible pregnancy centers. Through 2025, only qualifying business enterprises can claim it. The credit can cover up to 50% of applicable tax liability, and unused credit can carry forward for five years.

New rules for pregnancy centers

Starting January 1, 2026, pregnancy centers must meet new rules to qualify for the tax-credit program. They must be 501(c)(3) organizations, have a Mississippi office, clinic, or maternity home, answer a dedicated phone line, and serve Mississippi residents. No more than 20% of program contributions can go to administrative costs. Centers must meet limits on government revenue and certain federal funding, offer services or direct aid to support pregnancy, parenting, marriage, or adoption, and not refer for or facilitate abortion or abortion-inducing drugs. An officer must certify the organization’s eligibility under penalty of perjury; the law removes the annual public IRS-filing requirement.
