Az I Use It....
- As the year is winding down, don't forget to account for your tax dollars! In Arizona, there are several independently allowable tax CREDITS(check your individual state - I'm told most have similar tax credit programs!) Instead of giving your hard-earned dollars to the ever-so-efficient state government, you can contribute to your favorite local charities, and receive dollar-for-dollar credit, while receiving federal deductions, too! Here are four of them:
1. Public Schools Tax Credits - for extra-curricular activities only - up to $400 per married couple, filing jointly.
2. Private Schools Tuition Tax Credits - for tuition only - up to $1,000
3. Working Poor Tax Credits - for approved 501(c)3 organizations - up to $400 - to see which qualify, log-on to: www.azdor.gov/taxcredits/charitabletaxcredit.aspx
4. Military Family Relief Fund Tax Credits - for military families of those killed in combat - up to $400 For the contribution brochure and form, log-on to: www.azmfrf.gov/mfrf.htm
That's $2,200 in allowable tax credits! Take 'em!
As an aside - Arizona legislators will attempt to eliminate the Public School Tax Credit, while increasing the Private School Tax Credit to $1,500. This will enable all legislators whose children attend private schools(most of them!) to have their children's tuitions fully paid, annually!
- Hurry - it's not too late! Log-on to: www.retailmenot.com/view/honeybaked.com to download a $10-off coupon on a delicious Honeybaked Holiday ham! I did! My 8 lb. ham sold for $38(less than $5/lb). Offer ends Dec. 31st.
- UFCW 99 and Basha's gocery store chain have agreed to end four years of legal arguments, allowing Basha's to emerge from bankruptcy, resume inflated pricing, and go out-of-business without interference!
