IRS projects $25 million in 1976 campaign funds via tax checkoff
IRS Commissioner Donald C. Alexander said more than $25 million will be designated this year for the 1976 presidential campaign through the $1 checkoff on income tax returns, with a potential balance over $29 million by year end. He noted the fund could begin operating in 1976 once a 15 cent per voting-age citizen threshold is reached, and credited stronger disclosure coverage for improved compliance.
