Colorado Child Care Contribution Tax Credit
A gift to Family Star offers extraordinary tax benefits! The State of Colorado offers a 50% income tax credit for donations to child care centers - in addition to your federal income tax deduction.

Here's how it works for a donation of $1,000 from someone in the 28% tax bracket:

A. Charitable Donation	$1,000
B. Colorado State Income Tax Savings (4.63%)	$46
C. Colorado Child Care Tax Credit	$500
D. Federal Income Tax Charitable Deduction*	$127
E. Tax Savings (B+C+D)	$673
F. After-tax cost of your $1,000 contribution (A-E)	$327: Only 33% of the donation!
* Federal tax deduction is reduced because of the add-back effect of reduced state taxes.
