Time Running Out To Make Donations For 2011 Tax Deductions
December 30, 2011
The next couple of days are a great time to clear out the old and make room for the new as the 2011 winds down — and a great opportunity to take advantage of the chance to save on your taxes. Or, simply just write a check to your favorite church or non-profit.
Area non-profit thrift stores are ready and waiting to accept donations of furniture, clothing, household items and more. With a receipt, the donations can be written off your 2011 tax return. There are plenty of choices in the North Escambia area, including the Waterfront Rescue Bargain Center in Cantonment, the Molino Outreach Ministry Thrift Store, the We Care Economy Shops in Atmore and Flomaton, and the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store in Century.
Tax experts say you also have until Saturday to write a check to your local church or your favorite charity in order to receive a deduction for 2011. Most churches or charities will willingly provide a receipt or a year-end summary of your contributions.
