Car Donation and Tax deduction

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

Getting your charity of choice the best deal when you donate a car for tax deduction purposes will also increase the amount you’re able to subtract from your income when figuring your taxes. It is to your advantage to find a charity that can use your vehicle directly, rather than selling it off. Even if they donate it to an individual or family in need, you are allowed to deduct the fair market value of your car, as they would have paid if you’d sold it to them directly.

There was a loophole in the 1990’s and early ‘aughts that caused third-party, for-profit agents to skim as much as 70% from each vehicle transaction at auction. The reliance upon wholesale auction was further complicated by the for-profit reliance of such companies upon economies of scale. Without volunteer labor, it cost to much to take time finding a retail sale. Thus, a vast majority of donated cars for tax deductions were sent to the wholesale market.

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

What if I don’t receive my W2? 

Employers are required by law to mail all employee W2’s by the end of January each year. So, January 31st has come and go
ne and you haven’t yet received your W2. What should you do?

First, consider whether or not you’ve allowed enough time for the mailing to reach you. Employers need only mail the document by the 31st of January, not have it in your hands by that date.

Ok, you’ve patiently waited out the normal delivery time frame of your postal service and still no W2; what now? Your first step at this point should be to contact your employer; normally the Human Resources department. Most often, it’s as simple as that. If it’s simply a matter of delivery, your company should be able to easily supply you with another copy.

After a while it was realised that the person who heard this simple will could ‘influence’ who received the estate (the beneficiary/ies). It then became customary to leave the will in writing

Keep Those Inheritance Taxes Down

Monday, March 31st, 2008

When you’re asked if you will be someone’s executor, you never dream that someday, you’re services will be needed. However, when that day comes, you will have to deal with both estate tax and inheitance tax.

Most people confuse these two types of taxes, but you will need to know the difference if you’re going to liquidate an estate. Perhaps the easiest way to tell the two apart is to remember that the estate tax must be paid to the federal government while the inheritance tax, if there is one, is paid to the state. It’s important to know your states policy on inheritance taxes because the rates can vary wildly from state to state. Some states don’t even have an inheritance tax. If your state does have an inheritance tax, then each beneficiary will have to pay his or her own inheritance tax.
