AN ACT ESTABLISHING A TAX CREDIT FOR DONATIONS MADE TO CONNECTICUT-BASED CHARITIES.

HB 5053 would create a tax credit for Connecticut taxpayers who donate to charities based in Connecticut. This credit would allow donors to reduce their state income tax bill by a portion of their donation amount. The bill specifically applies to donations made to charities headquartered or operating within Connecticut. It does not alter existing charitable deduction rules but provides a new credit for qualifying in-state donations.
