Smart Tax LLC

There is a new tax deduction.  You can donate $ 300 to charity and get a deduction even if you do not itemize your deductions.  The donation must be paid by check or credit card.  Be sure you get a receipt to prove your donation.  Bring that to your tax appointment when you come.  You can find an approved list of charities [(501(c)(3)] on www.irs.gov.
