Acorn

Don't people also have until April 15 to make that decision?

No.

No, it must be done by Dec 31st

For those of you that might need help, this guy could help you

You do have until April 15th to decide about an IRA contribution, provided

Good to know

What if I can't double but could only go 5k? Still worth it right?!

Good question for a partial example - another example to consider...

Hated AMT complicates things. I hate AMT.

Good point. I probably need to do a little more math...

California is high taxes, but no deductions for personal exemptions

You are very welcome

You don't add 9, 15, and 19 in coming up with the total number?

Another example to help clarify. Good question

Ahhh, got it. I'm slow. Thank you sir!

if you pay 5% you should double what you pay 🙂

Tithing isn't supposed to be paid the year before

Additionally, to me this sounds like working the system to your benefit.

Effective tax planning is not “gaming” it is being wise with your resources

How does the scripture go again?

That is not what the handbook says.

Actually that isn’t true. The church even has systems in place to help the wealthy prepay tithing in order to get

I haven’t heard of this. Details?

Acorn

12/24/17 7:26pm

I posted about it a few days ago. You use a donor advised fund.

CDV

12/24/17 7:41pm

Oh. I know about donor advised fund

Acorn

12/24/17 8:42pm

The church’s planned giving department literally advises how to do this and helps set it up to pay

So, if I made $100K in '17, but paid $0, then paid $10K 1/1/18 to cover it, I would be a non-tithe payer?

Hah he's not even going that far. He's saying prepaying. I can only imagine his

This is called bunching your donations. 2 years worth paid in 1 tax year. This

This is my opinion and what seems right to me.

zerigke

12/24/17 4:54pm

Any bishops on this board? I'd be interested to hear your take.

zerigke

12/24/17 4:56pm

Maybe you should ask your bishop

I'm Stake president and it is perfectly fine to prepay tithing. It shows faith in the future. Heber C Grant
