Guidelines for claiming your 60% tax credit
Step 1: Fill out and submit electronically the “Connecticut Neighborhood Assistance Act (NAA) Business Application” (Form NAA‑02), available here, between September 15 and October 1. All forms must be received electronically by October 1. Please note that only monetary/cash donations are allowed under this program; in-kind donations are not eligible.
Step 2: Make your donation to DESK in the form of a check. Let us know if you’d like to do a formal “check presentation” with photos to publicize your good work (and encourage other businesses to do the same!).
Step 3: Claim your tax credit! The state’s Dept. of Revenue Services will send you an approval letter with additional information on how to report the credit on your business’s tax returns (using either Form CT‑1120K, “Business Tax Credit Summary,” or Form CT‑207K, “Insurance/Health Care Tax Credit Schedule”).
Step 4: Know you’re making a difference and making New Haven a more equitable place for our un-housed neighbors!
