Charitable Contributions Credits

The Mississippi Legislature has established several tax credits for voluntary cash contributions to certain qualified organizations. Depending on the type of charitable credit, there are limitations on the total amount that can be allocated, the types of taxes the credit can be used to offset, and the amount of credit that can be utilized against each tax type. Detailed information is provided below for each charitable credit type.
