HB 1104 -- Income Tax Credit for Special Needs Education Support Organizations Sponsor: Hughes Beginning January 1, 2008, this bill authorizes an income tax credit equal to 50% of the amount of a contribution to a nonprofit special needs education support organization. The contribution must be at least $100, and the maximum amount of the tax credit will be $50,000 per taxpayer annually. The cumulative amount of tax credits cannot exceed $2 million. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education will determine which organizations may be classified as eligible organizations for this credit.
