Ten states permit political parties to receive funds from state income tax checkoffs (i.e., funds contributed by taxpayers via their income tax returns to political parties). These states are Alabama, Arizona, Kentucky, Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, and Virginia. Richard Winger, editor and publisher of Ballot Access News, found that, in 2018, party revenues from state income tax checkoffs totaled $481,921. A majority of this (52 percent) went to state Democratic Party affiliates. See the tables below for further information.[1][2]
