As we begin a new calendar year, we want to remind you about Oregon's special income tax credit and urge you to take advantage of it to exert a little leverage on who gets to spend your taxes. While it's too late to take advantage of it for 2011, you have a whole year to make it work for 2012. This special tax credit is only for contributions to specific kinds of political organizations operating in the state of Oregon. These include political parties, candidates, and political action committees (PACs). For a more extensive description of the tax credit, prepared by CPA Raphael Antico (refers to 2007; simply substitute 2012 and everything still fits), select the link on the right side of the page.

Tax credit contributions made by credit card can be made securely here. Checks should be made out to the Marion County Republican Party and mailed to the attention of David Schreffler, Treasurer, at Marion County Republican Central Committee, PO Box 20147, Keizer, OR 97307-0147. To volunteer, to comment, or for additional information, please do not hesitate to call. Remember, for the Republican Party to continue to grow in Marion County we need your help.
