HB 1568 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Taxation; bring forward section of law authorizing certain tax credits for contributions to certain eligible charitable organizations.

HB 1568 reinstates a tax credit program allowing businesses to claim credits against state income, insurance premium, and property taxes for cash donations to specific charitable organizations serving vulnerable children. It directly affects Mississippi businesses (corporations, LLCs, partnerships, or sole proprietorships) that contribute to eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofits providing foster care support, educational services for children in need, or disability assistance. Key provisions include a 50% credit limit on tax liability, strict certification requirements for charities (including no abortion funding), and a prohibition against using the same contribution for other tax credits. The bill also requires organizations to verify their compliance with these criteria annually.
