On May 4th, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb signed Indiana Senate Bill (SB) 419, a new tax package, into law. Beginning with the 2023 tax year, membership dues contributed to a health cost sharing ministry (such as CHM) are now deductible from the contributor’s adjusted gross income for state tax purposes.
SB 419 changes the tax benefit rules to the advantage of CHM members located in the state.
This is great news, as it’s a tax break that benefits CHM’s Indiana members. Now, as you bear each other’s burdens by sharing for eligible medical bills, you also save on taxes.
It’s important to note that this change only applies to Indiana CHM members. A tax letter will also be sent out at the end of the year.
