Beginning on July 1 of each year, as long as tax credits remain available, individual taxpayers may make unlimited contributions to rural hospitals for a corresponding 100% Georgia income tax credit. Credits are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
Once the tax credit application is submitted, Georgia HEART takes care of the process on the taxpayer's behalf, submitting the request to the DOR in the order in which it is received by HEART, notifying the taxpayer of their approval and payment deadline, and, once the payment is received, providing the taxpayer with the appropriate tax receipt for claiming the credit on his or her 2026 Georgia income tax return.
