"[I plunge] because I was lucky enough to see the pure joy my son felt while attending his first Special Olympics event. It was magical to see him be so free and happy and loved. So, whatever support this organization needs. I’m ready to give it!"

-Amanda (Mother)

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.

Be sure to enter Code 31 on lines 75-77 of your NJ 1040 tax return.
