income tax; refunds; veterans' organizations
HB 2373 allows Arizona taxpayers to voluntarily contribute a portion of their income tax refund to a veterans' fund via their tax return. The bill creates a new provision (43-623) enabling this donation, which the Department of Revenue will transfer to the Veterans' Donations Fund. This fund includes specific subaccounts: one for the Enduring Freedom Memorial (via section 28-2431), another for women veterans' services (via section 28-2447), and two for military family scholarships (via sections 28-2454 and 28-2470.10). The bill directly affects taxpayers who choose to donate, veterans' service organizations (501(c)(19) qualified), and the Departments of Veterans Services and Revenue.
