COLORADO CHILD CARE CONTRIBUTION CREDIT (CCCCC)

The CCCCC was established in 1999 to encourage greater private support of Colorado child care programs, like those funded by United Way. Monetary contributions to United Way’s Child Care Fund qualify for this credit. In addition to the standard Federal and State income tax deductions, the credit provides a 50 percent state tax credit.
