Texas has created the Strong Families Tax Credit against its franchise tax, providing a credit of up to $1 million annually per taxable entity for designated contributions to eligible organizations supporting at-risk families and parenting initiatives. The total statewide credit is capped at $5 million yearly, with unused credits eligible for carryforward for up to five years. The program will expire on January 1, 2029, but credits from contributions made before expiration remain valid.
