Voluntary Income Tax Return Contributions – NJ 1040 Charitable Funds
On Nov. 8, 2021, the New Jersey Governor signed a law establishing the “Special Olympics New Jersey Fund”, providing a designation on the State gross income tax return that will permit taxpayers to make voluntary contributions to the fund. The bill requires the Legislature to annually appropriate all monies deposited into the fund for distribution to Special Olympics New Jersey. The law took effect Nov. 8 and applies to taxable years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2022.
