LESS Crime Act FAQ
I already have a Georgia Tax Center account, can I use my current account?
YES, If you already have a Georgia Tax Center account for the correct account type you are wanting the tax credit for, use your existing account. You will need to create an account based on what you want the tax credit for. i.e., If you want to qualify for the tax credit as a business, you must create a ‘Business Income Tax’ account. If you want to qualify for the tax credit as an individual or couple, you must create an ‘Individual Income Tax’ account.
What information is needed to create a Georgia Tax Center account?
To create an account, you will select the account type (Business or Individual), verify your identity with your Social Security # and most recent Federal AGI, and enter in your home address and email address.
I already qualified for a different tax credit for another organization, can I also apply and receive a tax credit under the LESS Crime Act?
Yes, you can qualify for multiple different tax credits within the same tax year.
How will I know if I have been approved for the LESS Crime Act tax credit?
Within 30 days of applying for the tax credit, you will receive a physical letter in the mail from the Georgia Department of Revenue stating your approval status and how much you have been approved for.
When will I need to make my payment to the Morgan County Sheriff’s Foundation?
Once you have received your approval letter from the Department of Revenue, you will have 60 days to make the payment to MoCoSF.
What forms of payment can be used?
We accept checks mailed to our main office or credit card payments made through our LESS Crime Act webpage. If paying with check, please write ‘LESS Crime Act’ on the check memo.
How do I know what forms I will need when I file my taxes?
Once your payment has been received by MocoSF, you will get an envelope in the mail containing Form IT-QLED-LEF1 completed by the Morgan County Sheriff’s Foundation confirming we have received your contribution. You will also find a blank copy of Form IT-QLED- TP2 which you will need to fill out and attach to your 2025 tax return when you file in 2026.
I have some questions about the process, who can I talk to?
You can contact Brad Morgan at morgancosf@gmail.com or 706-319-6339.
Do I have to live in Morgan County to claim a tax credit for a donation to the Morgan County Sheriff’s Foundation under the LESS Crime Act?
NO. You are eligible to claim the tax credit as long as you have a GA State tax liability.
Do you accept donations that qualify for regular tax deductions rather than the tax credit?
Yes. We appreciate all donations which can help Morgan County public safety departments. We are recognized as a 501 (C)(3) organization by the IRS.
