Support the Girl Scouts as You File Your Taxes

COURT HOUSE – Beginning this year, Girl Scouts is one of the charitable organizations eligible to receive voluntary contributions from taxpayers who choose to make a contribution when filing the New Jersey income tax return (Form 1040).
Residents throughout the state are being asked to consider this option when filing their 2013 New Jersey state taxes. All funds generated by the voluntary contribution program are returned to local Girl Scout Councils across New Jersey to assist in providing a girl-centered, quality, leadership experience.
When using Form NJ 1040, whether paper or electronic, at line 64, write in #16 for the Girl Scout Councils of New Jersey Fund, check the dollar amount you wish to contribute or enter a specific dollar amount in the space provided. Then, enter the total of your contribution.
Further information can be found in the 2013 Instructions for the NJ 1040, pages 3 – 5.
Your donation will automatically be deducted from your refund. If you are not receiving a refund, your donation will increase your balance due. Be sure to enter an amount when making a donation.
Contributions will go to the four Girl Scout Councils of New Jersey. Your contribution will help to ensure that every girl in New Jersey has the opportunity to grow and learn with Girl Scouts.
Through Girl Scouts, 93,295 girls in NJ build courage, confidence, and character and make the world a better place. Help us recruit, train, and assist the 44,580 volunteers who serve our girls and help support the program resources and facilities that give girls a safe, nurturing place to grow and explore their interests.
