Support the Senior Legislature
Remember Line 53 on your tax form
by Mary Dennison

The California State Legislature passed a law recognizing the fact that taxpayers are not familiar with the opportunity to donate to various causes on their California individual tax returns. Included in the law was a strong recommendation that tax preparers inform their clients of this opportunity when completing the tax return.

Line 53, The CA Fund for Senior Citizens, is of particular interest to all individuals regardless of age. We all have family, friends and loved ones who are concerned with health insurance, prescription coverage, nursing home care, Alzheimer facilities, transportation, in-home care and other senior issues.

Contributions to the CA Fund for Senior Citizens, Line 53, will support the activities of the non-partisan California Senior Legislature, a group of volunteer California seniors who really care about senior issues.

We have asked the local tax preparers to inform their clients and also to refer to it in discussions as they prepare their returns.

Mary Dennison is the Senior Senator representing Humboldt and Del Norte counties on the California Senior Legislature.
