Donations. So one of the biggest things you have to worry about in donations, well a couple of things, is one, we have the standard deduction that has increased. So you’ve got $12,200 or $24,400 under the current tax law. And then you’ve got to have to figure out, say you meet that with your mortgage interest, your property taxes and contributions, you need to make sure that you are contributing money to a true 501-C3. Because there are a lot of online sites that say they’re raising money for hurricane victims or raising money for medical reasons, and they’re not qualified. And if you’re audited, you’ll lose that deduction.

Call me 615-367-0819.
