I know I just sent my weekly email yesterday, but several people reached out in response asking about the 2021 Charitable Donation Special Tax Benefit and how to make donations that will be eligible for this Federal Tax Credit. Instead of responding individually, I wanted to send a follow-up note...
Recently, I was speaking to a bank teller and mentioned that I work at Lions Sight and Hearing Foundation of California. Her immediate response was, “Lions – they help with eyes, right?” I went through my usual explanation, but while answering, I realized I should be writing this down to put on...
The pandemic has made the last couple of years difficult for many. We’ve suffered individual hardships, certain organizations have struggled, and the country is working to put the pieces back together. That’s why a special pandemic-related IRS tax provision has been put in place on December 13,...
