Need a tax credit? We've got one!

‍New to HCTC?

• Make a donation (check or credit card) of $250 or more.
• Contact us with the last four digits of your social security number.
• You can also write “HCTC” and the last four digits of your social security number in the memo line of your check.
• Businesses, please include your full EIN.
• We’ll mail you a certificate.
• File your state taxes electronically.
• For HCTC-qualifying donations over $5,000, the State of Colorado requires back-up documentation. SRM's staff will submit this documentation as part of the HCTC qualifying process.

‍Did You Access HCTC Last Year?

• If you received an HCTC certificate in your name last year, you do not need to provide the last four digits of your social security number again. Please continue to write "HCTC" in the check memo line for easier processing.
• If your family's current year giving is made by your spouse, please contact us to make sure we process the certificate with the correct information.

‍What Can I Expect After Making an HCTC-Qualifying Donation?

After you 1) make an HCTC-qualifying donation and 2) provide the last four digits of your Social Security number in order to process the tax certificate, you can expect to receive:

• A hard copy of the tax certificate mailed to your address (will come separately from the gift receipt).
• An email from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs with a link to download your certificate (if we have your email address on file).
