Individual income tax: credit; tax incentive for contributions made to certain ballot and candidate committees; provide for. Amends 1967 PA 281 (MCL 206.1 - 206.847) by adding sec. 281.
This bill creates a new tax incentive called the "amplify Mi voice credit" for Michigan residents who donate money to support candidates or ballot measures in state and local elections. Starting in the 2028 tax year, eligible taxpayers can claim a credit against their income tax equal to the amount they contribute to specific candidate committees, with a maximum limit of $250 for single filers or $500 for joint filers. To receive the credit, individuals must provide proof of their donations on their tax return, and any unused portion of the credit will be refunded if it exceeds the tax owed. The measure specifically excludes contributions to political party committees, independent groups, and caucus committees, focusing only on direct support for candidates and ballot questions.
