A 1181 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides for voluntary contributions by taxpayers to General Fund on gross income tax return.

This bill would allow New Jersey taxpayers to voluntarily contribute to the state's General Fund when filing their gross income tax return. Taxpayers could choose to direct part of their tax refund or add a separate contribution, with administrative costs deducted before net funds are deposited into the General Fund. The General Fund is the primary account for most state revenues, funding essential government operations and appropriations. The bill requires the Division of Taxation to implement this option on tax forms for taxable years beginning after its enactment.
