The Baptist Children’s Village

Children’s Promise Act 2024 Tax Credit for Individuals

 

Here are the steps involved for 2024 if applying for an individual tax credit:

 

1.  Go to the MS DOR website – tap.dor.ms.gov -or click here to access the application by clicking the “Apply for a Charitable Contribution Credit” link under the Apply Online box.

 

2.  Once you submit your online application, the MS DOR will send you a letter letting you know whether or not your application has been approved, usually within 10 days.   If approved, your approval letter will provide you with a confirmation number and a letter ID number.  These numbers are very important to keep for your tax records.  Please keep these numbers in a safe place.

 

3.  Make your donation to The Baptist Children’s Village.

 

4.  The BCV will mail you a receipt letter.  If you would like us to email your receipt letter to you, please provide written instructions with your donation and be sure to include your email address.  This receipt letter will serve as your proof of donation to the MS DOR.

 

5. Once you receive your receipt letter by mail or email from The Baptist Children’s Village, you need to submit it to the MS DOR.  Your receipt letter is your proof of donation.  Go to the MS DOR’s website –  tap.dor.ms.gov  – or click here, and upload it by clicking Upload Documents and then Upload Requested Documentation.  You will need your Letter ID number for this.  You may also simply mail your Proof of Donation (BCV  receipt letter) to the MS Department of Revenue, P.O. Box 22828, Jackson, MS 39225.  You may also call us for assistance.  Dial 601.922.2242 and simply ask for help with a tax credit gift.

 

6.  IMPORTANT:  We will be more than happy to upload and submit your receipt letter to the MS DOR website for you.  For us to do this, we need the Letter ID number you received on your initial DOR approval letter.  This number is located in the top right hand corner of the approval letter.  

 

 7.  IMPORTANT!  If you have already given a donation this year to The Baptist Children’s Village and would like to receive a tax credit, simply follow steps “1”, “2” & “5”.
