Important changes for 2012 Enterprise Zone processing:

As of January 1, 2012, all eligible donors wishing to receive the Enterprise Zone Tax Credit must provide HPI with their Social Security Number (SSN), Colorado Account Number, or Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) and file their taxes online.

The Homelessness Prevention Initiative is a member of the Fort Collins Enterprise Zone and is able to offer a State Tax Credit to donors whose gifts total $100 or more in a calendar year.

• The credit is equal to 25% of all donations over $100 made directly to HPI, and it can be all at once or cumulatively.
• For example, for a donation of $100 the donor may subtract $25 from their total state tax liability.
• HPI will send eligible donors tax documents about one month after the donation is made. The tax year is determined by the date of the check or payment to HPI.
• This credit may be carried forward for 5 years.
