Tax Advantages

If you file a state income tax return for Indiana, the state will credit up to 50% of your gift to Indiana colleges and universities against any state income taxes due. Download the CC-40 Form and include it with your Indiana tax return.

Individual filers receive a $100 credit for the first $200 contributed; joint filers receive a $200 credit for the first $400 contributed. If you itemize, your contribution may also qualify as a deduction on your federal tax return.
