Tax Benefits

Kinderhaven Foundation is a 501(c) (3) non-profit corporation.

Donations to Kinderhaven have a special status in that Idaho residents can deduct itemized charitable gifts in the same manner as with the IRS. There is also a small credit against income that can be applied. (Idaho Code Ann. Section 63-3011A and Section 63-3029C.) Kinderhaven is specifically listed as one of the charitable organizations to which this special status applies!

A donation to Kinderhaven Foundation is eligible for both a state tax credit and itemized charitable gift deductions for federal and state taxes.

The Idaho tax credit is limited to the smallest of:
— 50% of the amount donated; or
— 20% of the tax on line 23; or
— $100 ($200 of joint returns); or
— tax on line 23 less the amounts of lines 24 or 25.
Example: A married couple filing in the 28% federal tax bracket (7.8% state) makes a $400 donation to Kinderhaven in 2009. The tax savings can be: Federal savings (28% of $400) $112 State savings (7.8% of $400) $31 $200 Idaho Tax Credit for joint filers $343 total savings!
A $400 contribution to the local children’s shelter may cost you as little as $57 out-of-pocket and keeps your tax dollars here in Sandpoint. Consult your tax advisor for your exact tax benefit.
