Thousands of taxpayers in Hawaiÿi demonstrated their support of public libraries in 2005 by donating a total of $92,200 to the Hawaiÿi State Public Library System. This was made possible when they donated a portion of

their 2004 tax refunds to the Hawaiÿi State Public Library System Special Fund. The state Dept. of Taxation collected and tabulated the funds, and presented it to the state library system. You, too, can show your support this tax season by contributing to the Hawaiÿi State Public Library System’s Special Fund. Act 193 (HB 638) provides a check-off box on State individual income tax returns which allows taxpayers an opportunity to support the Hawaiÿi State Public Library System. Their $2 tax refund donations ($4 for a joint return) have made it possible to purchase books and other library materials for all ages to enjoy. All you need to do is mark the appropriate check-off box on your 2005 State In-dividual Income Tax Return Form: Form N-11, line 43b; Form N-12, line 58b; Form N-13, line 24b; and Form N-15, line 60b. You’ll be so glad you did!
