SPRING CLEANING UNCOVERS TAX DEDUCTIONS!

It's a great time of year to clear the clutter in our homes and offices. Many items can be useful to others, especially now. Here is a guide with some helpful hints for recirculating and donating:



~ Most organizations can only use certain types of items - call or check the agency's website for a donation wish list.



~ Inquire as to whether an agency can pick up items or if they need to be dropped off at a certain location.



~ Ask for a receipt to claim a tax deduction.
