Quality Work With Personal Service

We here at Rabon & Dailey, LLP feel that an informed client is our best customer. We know that there is a lot of information on the Internet and it can be tough to determine what is valuable. That is why we have selected the following article(s) for you to view.

 
Used Vehicle Donation Rules
There are strict rules for charitable contributions of used motor vehicles, boats, and airplanes that apply to donations valued at over $500. If these rules are not met, a taxpayer cannot claim a charitable deduction. This article explains how the rules work and how taxpayers can verify their donation of a used vehicle, boat, or plane.
 
Changes to the Home Sale Gain Exclusion
Many taxpayers bought a second home, such as a vacation home, with the intention of later converting the second home into their principal residence. Under pre-2008 Housing Act law, those taxpayers could have excluded up to $250,000 ($500,000 for certain joint filers) upon a later sale of that former vacation home as long as the two-year ownership and use tests for the exclusion were satisfied.
 
Are You a Business Owner or Hobbyist?
Many of us would like to turn our hobby into a regular business. That's fine as long as the business turns a profit. And, it may be fine as well if the business produces a loss and you enjoy the activity; even better if the loss can offset income from your day job.
