Form 80-360-16-8-2-000 (Rev. 7/16)
Mississippi
Catastrophe Savings Tax
GENERAL
A taxpayer can have a Catastrophe Savings Account established to help pay the insurance deductible under an insurance policy for the
taxpayer's legal residence that covers hurricane, flood, windstorm, or other catastrophic event damage, to help pay expenses not covered by the
insurance policy after the deductible is paid, and to help pay self-insured losses for the taxpayer's legal residence.
The taxpayer can receive an adjustment to gross income for the amount contributed to the catastrophe savings account as well as exclude any
distributions from that account used to pay qualified catastrophe expenses.
If the aggregate distributions exceed the qualified catastrophe expenses during the taxable year, the amount otherwise included in the taxable
gross income of the taxpayer shall be reduced by the amount of the distributions for qualified catastrophe expenses.
Any tax paid on amount of excess distribution included in gross income shall be taxed at an increased rate of 2 ½% (.025), reported on line 22 of
Form 80-105 and line 24 of Form 80-205.
