It’s tax day here in the U.S. My spouse Helen has a new post up at Queercents, in which she looks at how to maximize your tax deduction if you make charitable contributions. Never too late to start planning for the coming year, I say.
She also explains how the current lack of federal recognition for married same-sex couples actually benefits those of us taking capital losses. Let’s face it, most of us with any kind of investments had losses in 2008. If the government wants to cut us a break, I say let’s take it while we can.
(And no, Helen’s not promising to make dinner every time I blog about one of her posts. Although there is a pile of laundry that needs folding. . . .)
