An employer must have its child care program certified by the Department of Health for programs serving children twelve (12) years of age or younger and for programs serving elderly adults. The State Tax Commission certifies programs serving dependents older than twelve (12) years of age. To request certification from the Tax Commission, the employer should submit a letter explaining the employer's child care program and specifically requesting certification for child care credit. A copy of the certification from the Department of Health must be furnished by the taxpayer to the Tax Commission when the certification is granted. Information concerning the Department of Health's certification may be obtained at the following office: Mississippi State Department of Health, Division of Child Care and Special Licensure, Post Office Box 1700, Jackson, MS 39215-1700.
