Donate tax refunds for veteran burials

Beginning July 1, 2026, your Oklahoma tax return again offers a checkoff to give part of your refund to the Indigent Veteran Burial Program. The option applies to tax years 2017–2020 and 2026 and later. Money goes to a state fund that repays cemeteries or funeral homes up to $500 per veteran. In calendar year 2017, total reimbursements were limited to $20,000. If you donated by mistake, you can ask for a refund within three years, and those refunds reduce next year’s donations.

Donate tax refunds for veterans' facilities

Beginning July 1, 2026, your tax return again offers a checkoff to give part of your refund to veterans' equipment and facility projects. The option applies to tax years 1994–2008 and 2026 and later. Money goes to a revolving fund that can buy equipment, buy property, plan, and build projects for veterans' care. The department may invest the fund and keep the interest. If you donated by mistake, you can ask for a refund within three years, and those refunds reduce next year's donations.

When these veteran donation options start

This law is in force now because it includes an emergency clause. The reauthorized income-tax donation options and related funds take effect July 1, 2026. That date controls when the checkoffs appear on returns.
