ANNAPOLIS (Feb. 16, 2021) A Maryland bill would allow deductions of up to $1,000 from state income tax for donations of diapers or feminine products to a qualified charitable organization starting in tax year 2021.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, there is a heightened demand for diapers and feminine hygiene products, which are typically the first items to be out of stock at distribution centers, advocates said.
HB711, a bill cross-filed with SB622, incentivizes Marylanders to donate these essential items.
Anyone will be able to claim up to $1,000 against their Maryland income tax, if they donate or give money for these specific items, according to the bill. The donation would be registered with the Comptroller s office.
