Donations..
I feel like I am really generous... esp to public libraries.
I borrow lot of books and DVDs from my local SD library. Most of the time, I just forget to return them before due date. So in turn I pay hell lot of fine to these libraries..
When I was in AZ, my local library used to charge just 25 cents per item, so it was okay.. but SD library is really "cruel" on me by charging $2 per item per day. So having 10 items checked-out at a time, late-fee just piles up and I end paying big bucks from my wallet. If I do the simple calculation for last 4 years, then I think I would have saved enough to buy a iPod :) !!
I believe there are members like me who make these public libraries profitable. Paying late fees to public libraries is just a special way of donating to community :) !!
Last month, I donated something to KPBS - local PBS radio channel. Its not like I donated them huge amount, but still they were so nice to me that along with my membership, they sent me lot of goodies, which they shouldn't have..
Any way, time to get some tax deductions on my donations :) !!

dude tax deductions only when you file itemized....in standard deduction nothing....i was also thinking the same thing when I recently got the receipts for my donations last year and was wondering it's all useless if you file in the standard deduction
