HB 1253 -- Income Tax: Credit for Certain Gifts Sponsor: Thompson This bill authorizes a state income tax credit for taxpayers who make gifts of personal property to persons whose income is below the federal poverty level. The tax credit for each gift by a taxpayer is limited to $10,000 per occurrence and to $50,000 per tax year. The credit is not refundable but excesses may be carried over to the next four succeeding tax years. The Department of Social Services will provide a method for identifying persons whose incomes are below federal poverty level and verifying the credit amount.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
