Hunterdon County’s Freeholder Board leaders, Shaun C. Van Doren and Susan J. Soloway were joined by County Veterans, at the Historic Courthouse in Flemington, to announce a ‘Leave No Veteran Behind’ campaign, reminding all Veterans that the Veterans Exemption has doubled to $6,000, when filing their 2019 state tax returns.
Freeholder Director Van Doren stated, "It is most important to note that unlike many other Veterans benefits, the state income tax exemption is available for all Veterans, no matter when or where they served.”
The Board’s Deputy Director, Sue Soloway, who is also the Veterans Liaison, said, “This increased benefit can make a substantial difference for so many Veterans, whether they are just returning from service or served in the past. Making Veterans aware of this exemption early in the new year allows them to gather the necessary paperwork and claim their full exemption.”
