422.12E Income tax return checkoffs limited.

1. For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2019, there shall be allowed no more than four income tax return checkoffs on each income tax return. For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2017, when the same four income tax return checkoffs have been provided on the income tax return for two consecutive years, the two checkoffs for which the least amount has been contributed, in the aggregate for the first tax year and through March 15 of the second tax year, are repealed.

2. If more checkoffs are enacted in the same session of the general assembly than there is space for inclusion on the individual tax return form, the earliest enacted checkoffs for which there is space for inclusion on the return form shall be included on the return form, and all other checkoffs enacted during that session of the general assembly are repealed. If more checkoffs are enacted in the same session of the general assembly than there is space for inclusion on the individual income tax form and the additional checkoffs are enacted on the same day, the director shall determine which checkoffs shall be included on the return form.
