Montana Endowment Tax Credit. The Montana Endowment Tax Credit provides a special tax credit for certain types of gifts to nonprofit organizations, including United Way of Yellowstone County. This credit is offered to individual taxpayers, small businesses, corporations, and estates, and increases the federal tax deduction. The credit may not exceed the taxpayer’s Montana income tax liability and is limited to 40% of the value of the charitable gift. The maximum credit an individual taxpayer can take is $10,000 or $20,000 per couple. The taxpayer may take a tax-credit or a tax-deduction from the amount being claimed, but not both. The credit must be applied in the tax year in which the gift was made.
