Tax Credit Information
The Missouri Domestic Violence Shelter Tax Credit allows a donor to give a donation of $100 or more to the Green Hills Women’s Shelter, and in return, the donor will get half (50%) of the donation back in the form of a Missouri State tax credit.
The tax credit is a deduction taken directly off what you owe in taxes to the State of Missouri during a given taxable year. You may still take a regular charitable deduction in calculating your Federal income tax.
Any donation to any of our three Shelter locations of $100 or more is eligible to apply for the tax credit. Once interest has been expressed in claiming a credit, GHWS will send a Domestic Violence Shelter Tax Credit Application form to the donor.
The donor must fill in the taxable year, Social Security Number(s), or Federal Identification Number, and sign and return the form to Green Hills Women’s Shelter. Upon receipt of the completed form, our Shelter will submit the information to the Missouri Department of Public Safety for processing. The Department will process the application and send a Tax Credit to the donor for use in filing their tax returns.
Deadline for using these tax credits towards your 2011 taxes is June 30th, 2011. Please contact Tammy Taylor, Program Director for more information by calling 660-359-3907 ext 2021 or emailing taylort@ghcaa.org
