AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Under current law, individuals and corporations that donate to the Carson Smith Opportunity Scholarship Program — which funds private school tuition for students with disabilities — receive a tax credit equal to 100% of their donation, but only the portion that offsets their tax bill in that year could previously be carried forward if it exceeded their liability. This bill changes that by allowing donors to claim any portion of their certified tax credit in a given year and carry any unclaimed amount either forward up to three years or back to the previous tax year, regardless of whether the unclaimed amount exceeded their tax liability.
