I believe I just heard this on MSNBC, shortly before 1:00 pm EDT. I can’t be sure, because I was coming in from outside, and all I heard was “ . . . don’t want to contribute to Donald Trump’s legal fees.” I thought, What is he talking about? Then I thought, Oh, if you check the box to contribute $3.00 to the Presidential campaigns, half of that money will go to the Donald Trump campaign and will be used to pay his legal bills. That can’t happen!
Now, I go out of my way to make sure I am not contributing to the Presidential campaigns; I always have. But if you have previously checked the box, your software, or your accountant, may automatically continue that selection. Be sure you make whatever adjustments you need to make.
So — Don't contribute $3.00 to the Presidential campaigns on your 1040; Do send your entire $3.00 to the Biden/Harris campaign
