An act relating to a tax return checkoff box for Hunger Free Vermont

H 847 adds a voluntary checkoff box to Vermont's individual income tax returns, allowing taxpayers to direct a portion of their tax refund or overpayment to Hunger Free Vermont, Inc. The bill requires the Commissioner of Taxes to deduct designated funds from refunds/overpayments and deposit them into a dedicated account for Hunger Free Vermont. It mandates that taxpayers receive clear information about the program and annual financial reports from the organization. The checkoff is entirely optional, with funds only deducted if a taxpayer chooses to contribute, and applies retroactively to tax years beginning January 1, 2025.
