Attainable Homeownership Tax Credit (AHTC) Overview
Great news for Indiana state taxpayers! Individuals, couples, businesses, and corporations who pay
Indiana state taxes can deduct 50% of their contributions to Habitat for Humanity from their Indiana
state tax liability.
This new tax-credit program called the Attainable Homeownership Tax Credit (AHTC), will help Habitat
build more homes for struggling families.
WHO:
Tax credits are available for qualified individual taxpayers, small businesses, or corporations in
Indiana that donate to Habitat for Humanity of Indiana.
WHAT:
Starting in 2024, these tax credits can be used to offset individual income or business taxes in the
year the donation is made.
Eligible donations can be checks and credit cards, land, stocks and bonds, or cryptocurrency.
HOW:
The tax credit is equal to 50% of the donation made to Habitat. For example, a $1,000 gift qualifies
you for a $500 tax credit on your Indiana State income tax return. A cap of $10,000 in tax credits
(for a $20,000 donation) is allowed per tax year, but any unused credits can be carried over for up
to five years.
The minimum donation is $1,000 for $500 in tax credits, and the maximum is $20,000 for $10,000 in
tax credits.
WHERE:
To process the tax credits, donations must be made to Habitat for Humanity of Indiana. Please
include the name of the Habitat Affiliate Designation, Habitat for Humanity of Porter County, on
your tax credit form to ensure your donations benefit Habitat for Humanity of Porter County. Our BOD
Vice President, Samantha Fisher is available to answer any questions and assist you with completing
your form.
