A bill for an act relating to tax credits by creating the maternity group home and the strong families tax credits available against the individual, corporate, franchise, insurance premium, and moneys and credits taxes, and including applicability provisions.
HF 2323 creates two new Iowa tax credits for donations to specific community organizations. The "maternity group home tax credit" allows taxpayers to claim a 100% credit against state taxes for donations to qualifying maternity group homes (defined in existing law), capped at $3.5 million annually statewide and $500,000 per organization. The "strong families tax credit" provides a 100% credit for donations to 501(c)(3) organizations offering comprehensive case management for at-risk families or fatherhood parenting services, with eligibility requiring the organization to not receive over 50% of revenue from government sources and not provide abortion counseling. Both credits are non-refundable but can be carried forward for up to five years if they exceed tax liability.
