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.  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.
