AI Summary This summary was generated by AI from the bill text. AI can get information wrong.
This bill would make the New Markets Tax Credit permanent instead of letting it expire. The tax credit is meant to encourage private investment in lower-income communities and help bring jobs, businesses, and economic growth to those areas. The bill would also adjust the credit amount over time for inflation and give more tax relief by making sure certain businesses can use the credit even if they owe the alternative minimum tax.
- It changes the tax law so the New Markets Tax Credit would continue every year after 2020, rather than ending after 2025.
- It adds an inflation adjustment after 2025 so the total amount of credit authority can rise each year with the cost of living, rounded to the nearest $1 million.
- It would let some taxpayers use this credit against the alternative minimum tax, but only for qualified investments made after December 31, 2024.
- Most of the changes would apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2024.
