Through the LESS Crime Act<\/strong>, taxpayers can redirect part of their state income taxes to support the Smyrna Public Safety Foundation,<\/strong> with 100% of those funds benefiting the Smyrna Police Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every dollar you contribute reduces your Georgia state income tax liability by the same amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why it matters<\/strong>: Contributions directly support law enforcement, helping provide critical resources beyond the city\u2019s budget, including training, equipment, mental health support, and initiatives that enhance community safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contribution limits<\/strong>: Individuals (single) may contribute up to $5,000 per year, while married couples filing jointly may contribute up to $10,000. Pass-through businesses, including LLCs, S-corporations, and partnerships, can contribute up to $10,000 annually. C-corporations may contribute up to 75% of their state tax liability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it works<\/strong>: Apply for pre-approval through the Georgia Department of Revenue. Once approved, make your contribution within 60 days, and claim your tax credit when filing your state taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Act now<\/strong>: The program has a statewide cap and fills quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
