Tax Tip
For Individuals:
MAXIMIZE EXEMPTIONS
If you support an elderly parent or other relative, you can claim an exemption for that family member if you provide more than 50% of his or her support, and that person’s gross income for the year (not including tax-free Social Security benefits, insurance proceeds, inheritances, or gifts) doesn’t exceed the personal exemption amount. Monitor the support you are providing near the end of the year if you believe you’ll be eligible for an exemption.
For Businesses:
GO GREEN AND SAVE
Make your commercial building more energy efficient. In 2007, businesses can make a special election to expense the costs of making such improvements to commercial buildings.The deduction is limited to $1.80 per square foot. Several requirements apply.
