Let’s say you decide to redirect $1,000 of your B&O Tax to CHWA this upcoming tax season.
Give $1,000 this tax season
Receive 75%**, or $750, back in tax credit next season
This means your tax dollars are now redirected back into Coupeville, which is invaluable in promoting and preserving one of Washington state’s finest coastal gems!
**Talk to your CPA regarding the 25% of your pledge that does not come back as a tax credit, as it may be tax deductible.
