Charity Begins at Home (with Documentation...)

\\nWe mark six months of podcasts this week (the first Tax Update was posted right after Apple opened up the iTunes music store to podcasts).\\n

\\n

\\nTo close out the year and get ready for the upcoming tax season, we look at the documentation rules for charitable contributions. The materials can be downloaded from \\nhttp://www.edzollars.com/2005-12-31_Charitable_Documentation.pdf.\\n

\\n

\\nThis podcast is being sponsored by \\n\\nhttp://www.leimbergservices.com, who provide an excellent set of email newsletters on tax topics by subscription, as well as a database of tax information and categorized archives of these podcasts.\\n

\\n

\\nHere at our firm, I wanted to note that one of my partners, LaVon Martin, is retiring as of the end of this year. We have worked both as employees of the firm and, eventually, as owners of the firm for over 20 years together. It has been a joy to work with her over these years, and it will certainly be different around here without her this tax season.\\n

\\n

Hopefully she\'ll remember us while she is actually getting to enjoy the winter and spring here in the Valley while those of us remaining are working our way through tax season.\\n

\\n

\\nMay all of you have a Happy New Year (enjoy those last few days before the deluge begins...)\\n
