The Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs are encouraging taxpayers to consider making a monetary donation to the Veterans Trust Fund, by filling in the “Donations” line when filing their 2016 Wisconsin income tax form.
They say any amount donation can help fund services for veterans such as those that are homeless, job training, emergency financial relief, and efforts such as the Zero Veteran Suicide and Opioid Prevention and Awareness programs.
Donations to the Veterans Trust Fund are allowed as a federal itemized deduction and can be claimed on the 2017 federal tax return.
