It’s Tax Time: Donate your State Tax Refund to NMDA’s Healthy Soil Program

DONATE ALL OR PART OF YOUR STATE TAX REFUND TO THE HEALTHY SOIL PROGRAM TO SUPPORT FARMERS AND RANCHERS IN SOIL STEWARDSHIP:

Any New Mexico tax paying resident who qualifies for a refund on their personal income tax return can voluntarily donate all or part of their refund to the Healthy Soil Program administered by the New Mexico Department of Agriculture (NMDA).

If you are due a refund on your New Mexico Personal Income Tax, you have the opportunity to donate all or part to a special fund using the PIT- D, Schedule for New Mexico Voluntary Contributions, when you file your taxes.

Over 600 individual donations are typically received every year. Thank you and let’s keep it going!
