Richcpaman Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Was doing a return the other day, and the client had checked the "contribute to the Presidential Election Fund". It made me stop..... And I think out of 200 personal returns, he is the only one. Wow. How about you? Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshtax Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 It says it will not impact the refund so my question naturally is....where do the funds come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 They move over from the General Fund to the Presidential Election Fund. Watch out for the contributions asked for on the state returns; the states I've worked with add to the tax liability any voluntary donations to things like state wildlife fund, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HV Ken Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 NJ requires you to answer the question on designating towards the Gubernatorial Elections Fund or you cannot create the efile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kea Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I don't know exactly (without opening every return), but I'd estimate it's in the 20% - 30% range. I do ask, but don't push it one way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
