In 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration unveiled guidelines for a mandatory menu calorie count to be implemented in March 2011 for all chain restaurants with 20 or more locations. Once these numbers were reported, there was no doubt that most choices at fast-food joints were just unhealthy ones.
Keep Those Records for Cash Donations. It is extremely important to get receipts and keep records for your donations. If you make a cash donation of less than $250, a canceled check or a receipt from the charity showing its name, the amount and the date of the contribution is sufficient.
The tax man may look at your income and giving patterns and decide you're either not reporting all your income or claim you're donating more than you really are. The IRS limits your donations to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income, and different types of gifts require different forms. Make sure you get receipts for every donation you claim. While you are not required to attach receipts to your tax return for all donations, you should keep them on hand in the event that you are audited or investigated.
