- Natural Disaster Charity Volunteer Tax Breaks
- If you volunteered your time for a charity in the aftermath of a natural disaster, you probably qualify for some tax breaks. Although no tax deduction is allowed for the value of services performed for a qualified charity or federal, state or local governmental agency, some deductions are permitted for out-of-pocket costs incurred while performing the services. The following are some examples:
- How to use your paycheck to donate to Hurricane Harvey and Irma Charities.
- Employees can donate their unused paid vacation, sick leave, and personal leave time to Hurricane Harvey and Irma relief efforts.
- The Equifax Data Breach, IRS and Your Identity Security
- In the tax industry, we have been working to combat the threat of hackers for many years. When a security breach of the scope of the recent Equifax cyber security incident takes place, many clients are affected and concerned about how this may affect their financial lives.
- A Novel Way to Make Hurricane Relief Donations
- As they have done before in the wake of disasters, including Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy, the Internal Revenue Service is providing special relief that allows employees to donate their unused paid vacation, sick leave, and personal leave time to Hurricane Harvey and Irma relief efforts.
- Avoid Being Scammed by Fake Hurricane Charities
- Whenever there is a disaster such as the recent hurricanes, the lowlifes show up and try to scam generous individuals out of money intended to go to victims of the disaster. Don’t you be another victim of the disaster – watch out for scammers claiming to represent charitable organizations who will pocket the donations for themselves instead. Besides fraudsters soliciting on behalf of bogus charities, some so-called charities aren’t entirely honest about how they use contributions.
