Title XIV TAXATION AND FINANCE
Chapter 220 INCOME TAX CODE Entire Chapter
SECTION 18775
Credit for contributions to eligible charitable organizations for the Home Away From Home Tax Credit.
F.S. 220.18775
1220.18775 Credit for contributions to eligible charitable organizations for the Home Away From Home Tax Credit.—
(1) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, there is allowed a credit of 100 percent of an eligible contribution made to an eligible charitable organization under s. 402.63 against any tax due for a taxable year under this chapter after the application of any other allowable credits by the taxpayer. An eligible contribution must be made to an eligible charitable organization on or before the date the taxpayer is required to file a return pursuant to s. 220.222. The credit granted by this section is reduced by the difference between the amount of federal corporate income tax, taking into account the credit granted by this section, and the amount of federal corporate income tax without application of the credit granted by this section.
(2) A taxpayer who files a Florida consolidated return as a member of an affiliated group pursuant to s. 220.131(1) may be allowed the credit on a consolidated return basis; however, the total credit taken by the affiliated group is subject to the limitation established under subsection (1).
(3) Section 402.63 applies to the credit authorized by this section.
(4) If a taxpayer applies and is approved for a credit under s. 402.63 after timely requesting an extension to file under s. 220.222(2):
(a) The credit does not reduce the amount of tax due for purposes of the department’s determination as to whether the taxpayer was in compliance with the requirement to pay tentative taxes under ss. 220.222 and 220.32.
(b) The taxpayer’s noncompliance with the requirement to pay tentative taxes will result in the revocation and rescindment of any such credit.
(c) The taxpayer will be assessed for any taxes, penalties, or interest due from the taxpayer’s noncompliance with the requirement to pay tentative taxes.
