Currently,
the State of Ohio allows you to support
candidates such as myself while also
providing you with a tax credit. The Ohio
Political Contributions tax credit (Line 52
on your Ohio IT-1040) allows residents to
take a dollar for dollar tax credit, up to
$100 for joint filers and $50 for
individuals, for contributions made to
candidates running for State office. If you
file jointly and send $100 to the Husted for
Ohio Committee, you can reduce the tax you
pay to the State of Ohio by $100!
Ohio law requires political committees to
report the name, mailing address, occupation
and name of employer for each individual
whose contributions aggregate in excess of
$100 in a calendar year. Ohio Law limits
contributions to $11,395 per donor per
election cycle. Corporate contributions are
prohibited by law. Not a charitable
contribution for federal income tax
purposes.
