Check-Off Programs
"Check-Off" for a Good Cause
As you complete your 2008 individual income tax return, please remember the "check-off" programs. You can contribute the designated program(s) of your choice, in any amount. Of course, a contribution will increase your existing tax liability.
Nongame Wildlife Program
Contributions are used to ensure the well-being of Montana's watchable wildlife species, such as eagles, herons, bluebirds, great horned owls, loons, chipmunks, pikas, flying squirrels and painted turtles.
Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Program
Contributions fund services and activities related to the prevention of child abuse and neglect. Note: If you enclose a separate check with your timely filed return you are allowed to take an itemized deduction for the amount of the contribution on the return you are filing with the contribution.
