When filing your 2010 state taxes be sure to ask about form 4642, which allows tax payers to donate all or part of their 2010 tax return to the United Way Fund. The United Way Fund has been created to help assist low to moderate income families in Michigan with basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter.
In Michigan's current economy, the need for assistance has never been higher. United Way of Midland County appreciates your support and encourages you to take advantage of this simple, quick way to donate resources that will ease the burden so many Michigan families are currently facing.
All donations made to the United Way Fund will be used to help support local families. Donations made by taxpayers in the Midland County area will benefit the needy families right here in our community.
