And perhaps you didn't know:
Get your telephone rebate................ If you own a phone (and this includes cell phones), you're entitled to at least $30 back from Uncle Sam. The refund is payback for an old telephone excise tax the government has been making people pay for over a century.

Originally, this tax was levied to help pay for the Spanish American War back in 1898. You'll get up to $60 for families of four or more. Claiming this standard credit will be much easier than digging up your phone bills for the last 41 months and figuring out exactly WHAT you're owed.

More: Energy efficiency etc.

The telephone rebate is a neat one. I'd not heard of that. I'll take all I can get. Even so, I'm prepared to be raped.....again. I'm "rich" according to, well, someone.

Thanks for the post. I am working almost as hard to reduce my income tax bite as the "progressives" are trying to increase it:-(

Gift appreciated stocks. Especially if you know not your cost basis. Keep cash & give stock!!!!!!!! Especially before the January correction.

Your charity will have a brokerage account with "DTC" instructions for you to provide to your Financial Advisor (FA). Provide these instructions to your FA in a signed letter of authorization (LOA).

Your FA will be really impressed with LOAs submitted the week after Christmas.
