Does Maryland have any tax checkoffs?

Yes. You can use your income tax return to contribute money to three checkoffs: 

• Chesapeake Bay and Endangered Species Fund
• Developmental Disabilities Administration Waiting List Equity Fund
• Maryland Cancer Fund

The Chesapeake Bay and Endangered Species Trust Fund supports projects that protect our state’s natural resources. The Fair Campaign Financing Fund provides a funding alternative in Maryland gubernatorial elections when candidates accept a spending limit. The Maryland Cancer Fund supports grants for cancer research, prevention and treatment. 

The Developmental Disabilities Administration Waiting List Fund assists individuals with developmental disabilities and their families, providing support services such as job training, respite care, crisis intervention and opportunities to live in the community.
