Income Tax - Subtraction Modification for Donations to Diaper Banks and Other Charitable Entities - Sunset Extension
This bill extends the sunset date for a Maryland income tax deduction that allows residents and corporations to subtract donations made to diaper banks and other specific charitable entities. The law defines eligible recipients as nonprofit organizations that collect or distribute diapers, hygiene products, and feminine care items to individuals in need. To claim the deduction, taxpayers must file their tax returns with the names of the organizations and proof of the donation value, while the state Comptroller is tasked with creating rules for entity registration. By updating the expiration date from June 30, 2024, to June 30, 2027, the legislation ensures this tax benefit continues for three more years without requiring further legislative action.
