Legends and Charity

» From: Woodland Hills, CA
Dear TaxMama:
Do you have any recommendations for end of the year "charitable"
donations?
And what about this urban legend that December is the best month of the
year to purchase a new car???? Doesn't it mess up your tax deductibility
on auto related expenses?
Have a Wonderful Thanksgiving and celebrate with fervor before the
TaxMadness of January 1 commences.
Take care.
Nick
Hi Nick,
Thanks for your ever-loving words.
I don't know about urban legends - although they are fun to scoff.
Actually, if you're looking for a new car, do your research really
well on the pricing. Then, head out to the dealerships armed with
information and see what they're offering.
The salesmen ARE hungry to win their annual sales competitions.
Since they need to make their year-end targets, you might be
able to get some deals cut.
Charities - clean house. You probably have a couple of days off
for the holidays. Pile up everything you're not really using anymore.
Make a good list. If they're in great condition, you may even want
to take pictures. Take everything down to your favorite charity
and GET RECEIPTS.
Have a wonderful holiday time.
Best wishes,
Eva Rosenberg
Your TaxMama
