DOA:......Caucutt, BB0100 - Individual income tax checkoff for veterans trust fund donation
For 2005-07 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2005 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: creating an individual income tax checkoff for donations to the veterans trust fund.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
taxation
Income taxation
Under current law, an individual income tax check-off procedure exists that allows an individual who files a return to designate any amount of additional payment or any amount of a refund due for the endangered resources program, a local professional football district, and a breast cancer research program. This bill creates a similar income tax checkoff for designations to the veterans trust fund (fund), the proceeds of which support various programs that benefit veterans.
Under the bill, an individual who has an income tax liability, is due a refund, or is required to file a return may designate any amount of additional payment, or any amount of a refund due, to the fund on his or her income tax return. If an individual's designation exceeds the amount of his or her refund, he or she must include a check with his or her tax return for the difference between the amount of the designation and the amount of the refund. If an individual who makes a contribution has a tax liability or has no tax liability and is due no refund, he or she must include a check for the amount of the designation with his or her tax return.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
