Can I contribute both individually/jointly and through my business?

Yes, you can contribute both individually (as a single person) or jointly (as a married couple) and through a legal business entity that you control. Either way, you or your business can earn a 75% state income tax credit. The business contribution route can be better beacause it allows you to contribute at a higher level and to gain a tax deduction in addition to the tax credit which maximizes your tax savings.

How can a tax credit save me more than a tax deduction?

Think of a tax credit as a gift card that you can use to pay your taxes. Tax credits directly reduce your tax burden on a dollar-for-dollar basis. The value of a tax deduction depends on several factors specific to each taxpayer. A tax deduction only reduces the base of your taxable income and therefore only indirectly reduces your tax burden by saving you cents on the dollar.
