What role does Department of Social Services (DSS) play for this tax credit?
• (Step 1) Annually, pregnancy resource centers desiring to participate in this tax credit program must submit an Agency Eligibility Verification application and supporting documentation to DSS to determine qualification status for the next state fiscal year. • (Step 2) DSS notifies pregnancy resource centers of their eligibility and equally apportions the total available tax credits among the eligible centers. These credits are effective beginning July 1 of each state fiscal year. The amount of credits available cannot exceed $2.0 million in a state fiscal year (July 1 through June 30). • (Step 3) If determined eligible by DSS, the pregnancy resource center may begin receiving contributions eligible for the tax credit beginning July 1. Note: Centers are permitted to decline a contribution from a taxpayer. Annually, DSS publishes a list of qualified pregnancy resource centers which are eligible for the Pregnancy Resource Center Tax Credit. To request a copy you may call (573) 751-7533
