Colorado Child Care Contribution Credit Extended
The Colorado Child Care Contribution Tax Credit was extended through 2026 and beyond via HB23-109.
This bill ensured the 50% tax credit for monetary contributions to State of Colorado “Approved Child Care providers” remained active through 2026, with current legislative proposals (HB26-1004) seeking to extend it further to 2038.
The State of Colorado recognizes Summit54 as an approved childcare provider for our work with students in the Roaring Fork Valley.
Credit Details
Taxpayers can claim a 50% state income tax credit on qualifying monetary contributions to child care providers, recognized as “Approved Child Care Providers", up to a maximum of $100,000 per year.
Further Extension
As of early 2026, HB26-1004 has been introduced to extend this tax credit for an additional 10 years, until January 1, 2038.
Additional Credits
Separate from the contribution credit, a new refundable $1,200 Care Worker Tax Credit for early childhood professionals began in the 2025 tax year, as noted by the Colorado Department of Early Childhood.
