Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the tax law, in relation to increasing tax credits for donations to food pantries by farmers

AI Summary

This bill increases tax credits for farmers who donate to food pantries by doubling the percentage of the donation's fair market value that can be claimed as a credit from 25% to 50%, and also doubles the maximum credit amount a farmer can receive annually from $5,000 to $10,000. These changes apply to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2028, and the bill clarifies that if a farmer is part of a partnership or an S corporation, the $10,000 cap applies to the entire entity, not each individual partner or shareholder. The bill also specifies that these enhanced credits are for "qualified donations" made to "eligible food pantries" by "eligible farmers," terms that are defined within the broader tax law.
