• California allows the taxpayer to make contributions to any special funds listed on CA Form 540, page 4.
  • Unlike giving $3 to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund, a CA contribution increases the amount due or decreases the amount of the refund.
  • If the taxpayer wants to donate (commonly when they’re receiving a refund of just a few dollars), then from the California State Return menu, go to the Voluntary Contributions page.  Donations may be deducted on next year’s Schedule A.
