For tax year 2001, a deduction was allowed for charitable contributions in determining Part B taxable income. The deduction amount was equal to the taxpayer's charitable contributions for the year, as defined under the Federal Internal Revenue Code and without regard to whether the taxpayer elected to itemize deductions on his or her federal income tax return. Chapter 186 of the Acts of 2002 suspended this deduction until the year following the tax year the Part B rate declined to 5.00%. The Part B rate rolled back to 5.00% for tax year 2020, resulting in the reinstitution of this deduction for tax year 2021 and thereafter. The tax loss in FY21 results from filers adjusting their estimated payment during that fiscal year.
