During the second half of the 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 Georgia Department of Revenue 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 2025 Georgia income tax return.
Due to recent legislative changes, the payment deadline associated with applications submitted between now and September 30th will be October 31, 2025.
