Hey, did you know contributions to political campaign’s are now tax deductible?
Me neither.
But on his campaign website, Rep. Greg Walden (R) of Oregon says contributions to his campaign are tax deductible. (Below is a snapshot from the frontpage of Rep. Walden’s site.)
Maybe he got a special dispensation from the IRS? Inquiring minds …
Late Update: Oregon state income tax gives you a small deduction (up to $50) for political contributions. Not the feds. But, hey, for Walden, details, details.
Even Later Update: Actually, the Oregan law has a tax credit, not a deduction. So it seems Walden is back to a plain fraudulent claim.
So Late It’s Tomorrow Update: Seems the Walden tax policies have changed. The donate button now reads, “It’s fast, easy & secure.”
