Income Tax Incentives
Certified Nonprofit Development Corporation Investment Credit
An income tax credit is allowed to an individual, estate, trust, or corporation for buying membership in, paying dues to, or contributing to a certified nonprofit development corporation. The credit is equal to 25% of the qualifying payments, up to a maximum credit of $2,000. The unused credit may be carried forward seven years.
Note: In the case of an individual, estate, or trust, for which there are two methods of calculating an income tax, this credit may or may not be beneficial because it is only allowed under the method found on Form ND-2 (for an individual) or Schedule 2 of Form 38 (for an estate or trust). Comparing the tax result under both methods is the only way to know if the credit will be beneficial.
